Have been informed during official meeting between manufacturer rep's
in Belgium and rep's of model users (airplane and buggies):
Graupner manufacturer rep. in BELGIUM (Mr Engelen) made following
unbelievable statements subject 72 Mhz radio control equipment rigs:
- radio control rig's in general, and specially 72 Mhz rig's, are
unable to meet the new ETSI 300-220 spec. constrains (is this true?,
who has experience on the subject with other brands?)
- CE EMC requirements are not applicable to Radio Control equipment
(for me its applicable to ALL equipment's, what's your opinion?)
Other statements made by the same person Not dirrectly related to the
purpose of this discution group (info request):
- 72 Mhz rig's are unreliable due to the fact that the quartz is
very thin on that frequency and breaks down often due to engines
vibration and/or heavy landings (is that true, on what overtone
frequency do they work?)
- 72 Mhz rig's will not be manufactured any more due to the low user
demand (any comments and/or estimates?)
- 72 Mhz will be no longer used any more for model radio control. In
the near future the 72Mhz band will be relocated in the 75 Mhz band
(is this a USA FCC statement?, who else's use 72 Mhz (country's)?,
who else will switch)
Plse replay preferably by EMAIL to rampelberg...@euronet.be
I'm not receivable to humor on those subject's, so avoid spam on
maillists.
Please let me know your Email adr. if you are involved (and/or concerned)
about ongoing future model radio frequency planning in Europe (regio I?)
and like to participate (or feel you can help) on the subject.
Thanks on beforehand for your collaboration. This are very important
items for ongoing future frequency planning discussions in Europe.
Best regards PAUL
