I like going to events. I dont like being told that an event is 2.4, that just pisses me off. I have way too much invested in 72Mhz and wont spent any more. Now if the event CD
wants to buy me or loan me a 2.4 maybe. I just dont like those tiny antennas. I feel safer with the good ol long one and I still like the idea of frequency control like we have at my club which makes the 2.4 guys pin there radios just like the 72 or else they dont fly,period!
Why would you want people flying 2.4 pin their radios??
Makes absolutely no sense.

At our club because a lot of guys were using both 72mhz and 2.4 when 2.4 first came out they wanted people to stay in the practice of pulling a pin
before they operated a radio.
