My new HK radio arrived today.
Initial impressions.
Basically the same weight and feel as the DX5e.
Comes pre-bound
analog trims
uses 4 standard channels and 2 variable pots for 5 and 6.
Variable pots can be set to any channel as well.
Channels can be reprogrammed for various stick configurations.
Two toggles can be programmed for dual rates or throttle cut, no other options from the software I have. It should allow programming for three or 4 seperate rates
The HK cable works for programming with the driver linked below.
My sim cable works for FMS, with a little tweaking.
Setting up the software was a bit of a pain, but once its setup, reprogramming is pretty straightforward.
I'll try to get a range check soon.

I had to use this driver for the USB cable. It took a little bit to get it to work right for some reason, but it does work. It sets up the USB port as a virtual com port.

An alternative programmer, seems to be easier to use.

The above programmer requires this download to run.
