Is it true that 2.4ghz has less range potential than 72mhz?
Range potential? What does that mean?

Are you asking if one can go twice as far as I can see and the other can go 3 times as far as I can see?Maybe, butnot really sure that Icare.

I fly gliders with 11 foot wing spans to 1/2 mile out and 1/2 mile up and have never had a range problem so ... not an issue.

Naturally there are short range receivers that have limited range, but there are also full range receivers that will go as far as you can see with model aircraft.
