Sporty’s Latest PJ2+: More Power, Range

Weighing 1.2 pounds with the batteries installed, the PJ2+ retains the same chassis and control set as the first-gen PJ2, but gets a brighter LCD display.

Priced at $250, the latest PJ2+ transceiver attempts to improve upon what we thought was an already good product. The several first-gen PJ2s that have been serving hard duty in Aviation Consumer’s long-term test pool keep on working (see the report in our March 2021 issue). 

As a follow-on, Sporty’s has done what we would expect, flying with the radio and collecting data from other users for an improved PJ2+ model, made by Japanese Rexon. We’ve been passing around a few new demo units, and here’s a report.
