Default 2.4 GHZ Radio

I know this question is asked so many times, but Im in need of a radio when it comes to buying my next RC. I just would like to see who owns them and what they think of them. Right now I have my mind set on the 3PK. Any sugestions? Thanks.

My Futaba 3PKS 2.4GHz FASST feels really good grip wise, you'll love the way it feels in your hands! Futaba sells the standard rubber grip and a rubber grip for people with bigger hands, get the 3PKS! You can turn on the 3PKS without actually transmitting radio signals, use it when you just have to set EPA, etc.. It comes with a NiCD battery, but get the Hobbico HydriMax 8-Cell 9.6V 1650mAh NiMH Flat U Sanyo.

AMainHobbies also has an aluminum plug for the crystal based antenna for the 3PKS if you never plan on using it again, just unscrew the long metal antenna and install the CNC plug.
