I forgot they even sold 3 series radios any more. The 3PV looks like a solid beginner radio. Primary difference is going to be the amount of models you can store; 10 vs 40 on the 4P. 3 series only allows 4 character model names versus 10 on the 4. Bigger backlit screen on the 4 series, more buttons/switches/dials you can assign Rx channels to on the 4.I don't imagine I'll ever be as good as the $700 Futaba. If there are must have features though I'll do it. I definitely don't mind spending the money for the 4 series. Are there appreciable differences between the 3 series and 4 series that I should care about? What features should I care about to begin with? lol
