Really? Is that for sure or just a speculation cuz they are both 2.4mhz radios?

Yes, it does. Just go to the Nomadio.net support forums and do a search on Spektrum and you'll get a few hits. From what I've read, you have to be using the beta version of their PC app, unless that is changed. Also, there is potentially more latency and less power.

The frame rate for Nomadio 75MHz, for Spektrum it's 50MHz. Convert that to time, that's a difference of about 700us.

The power difference is 10mW for the Spektrum and 100mW for the Nomadio, depending on the RF laws for your country. Good for range, bad for battery runtime (but it won't be that much different since we are talking mW here).

These figures are from briefly browsing the forum posts, so there may be a little more to it than that. So basically when a Spektrum module is used with a Nomadio receiver, you lose some advantages, but the performance is the same as if you were using a full Spektrum system. So, if you are happy with the Spektrum system performance, you won't lose anything.
