- by ScaleMonkey
In this report, we would like to introduce you to the new Sanwa M17S radio transmitter. In our view, it ranks among the best in the world.
What makes the M17S so special?
It is the perfect balance of functionality and innovation, paired with exceptional speed. At Sanwa, the tactile experience is just as important as the technology. With the M17S, they are now setting a new standard in the world of radio transmitters. The M17S has not only been redesigned visually, but its performance has also been significantly improved. The 16-bit A/D converter built into the main board and the revision of Sanwa’s unique control programme ensure “smoother operation”. In addition, hardware changes have accelerated the interface, further improving the world’s fastest response!
The M17S is now equipped with the new FH5/FH5U system, which includes a 4-channel RX-493i receiver with the world’s fastest response time. The FH5U system transmits twice as much data as the FH5 system, ensuring smoother handling and faster response.
