...considering the purchase of this system from Howes. Any comments as to pros/cons.

Many of us prefer the Planet  system. It has the extra 5th switched channel and is the same price.

Cheers

Howes have an offer on the RadioLink set at the moment - thirty quid. I'm personally not tempted; I've seen inside one  .

You'll get what you pay for, big fella. It's only that cheap for a reason, and the reason is that corners have been cut to make it that cheap. They'll sell thousands - but so did Lada

Not all Ken,
So far I have 3 Transmitters and 10 receivers of the Radiolink.

There is an easy mod to open a fifth switched channel
on the Radio link Tx.
Rumour has it there is a sixth in there somewhere.
Mine is four years old and the grandsons use it most weeks.
Never had any problems but the soldering leaves a lot to be
desired.

...thanks for your comments, a club member has one also and has never had an issue. Roll the dice. From what I read somewhere else, apparently there were a lot of bugs when they first came on the market and have since ironed them out. What the hey .
