All my planes now use Orange receivers - from indoor to my Orange Balsa PT-20. The only one with a satelite is the PT-20 but I have had no signal issues with plenty of response and altitude for my purposes.
I was previously using a Sanwa receiver with satelite in the PT-20 bcs I bought Sanwa before I recognised that the rest of the known universe uses Spektrum or Futaba (other than those significantly greater funds to invest in their toys).
Sanwa suffers the lack of competition that used to work for spektrum with the cost of a compatible receiver being over AU$80. This lead me to the HobbyKing el-cheapo 2.4G Tx system TR6-A. The 2.4GHz MOP from MAAA then pushed me towards Spektrum.
