A 40MHz control problem recently got me thinking again about lower frequency vs 2.4GHz control. I’m still using 35MHz as are a few others locally, as well as 40MHz and 72MHz. Local Testing I live about 2KM from the flying field so I can listen or test for radio activity […]
For about 4 years I have been using a simple 6-channel Dynam 35MHz RC transmitter. I have recently setup my Turnigy 9X transmitter for 35MHz, so now I can use the programmable features. Some time ago I modified the 9X to operate at 433MHz, fitting a antenna socket in place […]
I’ve noticed recently that my 35MHz RC range is down to about 300-400 meters. I thought this can’t be right as I’ve had this same kit out over 800 meters. At least with 35MHz it’s easy to tell when it’s going bad, you can hold the transmitter up and turn […]
