Pretty much a rhetorical question considering that 2.4 for RC has been operating in all disciplines for soaring and ground applications. On a comparison to 72mhz or some of the other Freqs like 900mhz, 2.4 has a bit less ability to reach around objects. Spektrum handled that 'bit' of lesser ability buy using the multiple RX system which sets up sort of a signal net or back stop to capture wayward or deflected signal information.
Different than the single RX installs we became used to but easily manageable. Kind of like when you got your first foamy and the instructions said to apply packing tape, like the rest of us because it was a different form of construction from what we had been doing, it sat on the bench for a few days till we wrapped our heads around the system... The same as 72mhz systems, 2.4 doesn't work well without some help in carbon/kevlar compartments...so with 72mhz we extended antennas so that the TX had 'line of sight' with the antenna, so that the Rx could get the information sent. And then there is the obvious point to be made about the question of a home or structure or earth topology blocking the 'line of sight' of the TX to the RX... Unless you have my Zenni Optical $19 distance optimized prescription sun glasses, likely your own eyes won't have 'line of sight' to guide your thumbs anyway. 2.4 is kind of an old topic already ;-). But a good question in any case! Gordy Next stop Auburn Alabama...to check on my competition horse..and oh yeah my daughter in Vet school down there ;-). In a message dated 3/21/2008 1:37:44 P.M.
