"The menus in both transmitter and receiver units are very intuitive and easy to figure out without reading the manual. The most notable feature of the L-Series receiver is “SmartTune.” It can scan the whole frequency range and automatically select the ideal frequency to use. Not only will this save time, it is also fun to watch. When the scan is complete and a frequency automatically selected, you can then simply point the receiver at the transmitter and automatically sync the two units to each other via infared (IR) transmission. I loved how simple this was. I can imagine this feature alone would save loads of time in the field when you have multiple wireless units using various frequencies."

Looks like a fabulous system but priced more than a new X70.... My video prof always said, you can fix lousy video with stills and editing. Lousy audio is another cat, if you don't have good audio, you don't have a good production!.

Just ran across this accessory that looks to be perfect for mounting two LR receivers on a single camera: Amazon.com : Dual Cold Shoe Flash Bracket Hotshoe Mount for DV Camera LED Light Microphone : Camera & Photo (http://www.amazon.com/Flash-Bracket-Hotshoe-Camera-Microphone/dp/B00V4J3JF4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1433272422&sr=8-3&keywords=dual+cold+shoe+mount)
Also, if anyone is interested in a walk-through of the menu structures & features of these units, check out these videos.

I just picked up the Tascam equivalent. It's really amazing for $200. I used to use the JuicedLink LittleDARLing, but the tascam is way better. The Lectrosonics unit has lots of plusses -- but for the price... the Tascam will do.

I'm assuming there is a 'lock' button since the buttons are exposed?

I own one and I can confirm that yes you can indeed lock the buttons.

A small "padlock" symbol appears. It is in the menu and you just select yes/no for it to be locked.

Ryan,
I think you might be confusing this with the PDR from Lectrosonic. I do not think there is a wireless unit on the market for $200 that will compare to the LT/LR system. I have owned the system since it came out and it has never failed me. Amazing sound with a Sanken COS-11d mic.
Also I have their PDR which is great when a small portable recorder is needed.
Now Lectrosonic needs to make a dual LR.
