Seems like a pretty honest review - I appreciate that as a former CR1A rx owner.
I wonder if the 3-cell li-ion pack is intelligently charging each cell individually, rather than taking a "pack" approach? Li-ion battery balancing and individual cell monitoring is very important when using multiple cells. Just placing them in parallel does not automatically balance them. It's a safety thing.
I guess if I had one and didn't know the answer, I'd first charge them in an intelligent 3rd party charger, like an Opus BT-C3100 or equivalent. I'd be impressed if the CTX-10 truly did individual cell charging / low voltage monitoring.
Of course now that this has bandpass filters, and other improvements, I might be interested in a rx-only version again.
But rather than go over the review line by line, I'd just say the reviewer seemed to be on the level.
