A few years ago down under we changed our whole way of numbering
frequencies. We used to use a similar way to the US but now we use the
first number of the freq band and the next 2 are the first numbers after the
decimal point, thus 72.150 becomes channel 715, 72.330 becomes 733 etc.
Very simple and handy because we have 27, 29, 35, 36, 40 and 72mhz bands
available to us. Its great to be able to buy from anywhere around the world
if you are seeking small and light stuff, a lot of us glider types are
slowly moving towards 72mhz due to the excellent small and light rx's from
the US.
Cheers, Les.

Subject: Determining channel number
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I like to post this every year to assist those who are new to hobby. =
With the advent of Park Flyers and lots of people getting into RC the =
dilemma occasionally arises on how to determine the channel number (or =
the frequency). The following formula works with all 72 frequencies.
Example: frequency 72.550 To determine the channel add 21 to the first =
two numbers to the right of the decimal. 55 + 21 =3D 76. Now divide by =
2 to get the channel number 76 divided by 2 =3D 38. Channel 38
Another 72.190 19+21=3D 40 divided by 2 =3D channel 20.
Obviously this works in reverse too.
