a curiosity why didn't you buy the 4651? instead of the 4650?

I had purchased the 4650 a while back, right when they were coming out and had it setting aside to test with when the srxl2 for spirit was released and just going to use them on my smaller helis, then stick with the 4649t and sats for all the larger ones.
Upon reading up on the differences between the 4650 and 4651t, the only real difference is the 4651t is described as a 'full range telemetry" sat/receiver, but nothing says anything about the 4650 having limited range. The 4650 passes all the same telemetry data that the 4649t does and the 4650t is what replaces it (as the 4649t is now discontinued).
So until I can perform a range test, there is no apparent difference other then the 4651t having a case and being $10.00 more, lol. Tomas and I agree that there may be no performance differences between the 2...
If a range test yields unfavorable results, then I'll get some 4651t's instead, but I doubt that'll be an issue because if they are geared for use on fpv stuff too, (which I dont fly), they fly further away then most of us fly our helis, so should be good there.
My main concern is when using the srxl2 stuff, is to not have to use the ar6610t at all and just use 2 of the 4650's (if acceptable from testing). A single setup with an ar6610t + 4651t is appx $110.00 and 2 4650's is $54.00, so half the cost, which when outfitting 11 helis, is a good cost savings
