RE: Radio Frequencies-Change 40.830 to 40.835
Thanks Nemisus,
Thats correct.
I bought a channel 83 xtal in Germany, but when I got it home realised it was 40.835 (channel 83 in Germany). not 40.830 (channel 83 here)
I cannot buy reciever TX and RX xtals separately here so thought I would buy again in Germany.
I have already bought a pair of channel 81 40.810 xtals here and they work fine. Should have just bought another pair of channel 83. But thought it would be good to have an alternate freq in case mine was in use. Not applicable here I found out later, as only a couple of modellers turn up to the flying site and theyre on 72Mhz.
Will save me changing xtals every flight as I alternate flights between heli and plane, often 3 flights each aircraft a day.
Just wasnt sure if the TX required tuning for using 40.835, 40.815 compared to 40.830, 40.810.
I will not be able to use these xtals, or possibly even my TX, RX when I return to Australia as they are not approved freqs.
Just a bit annoyed for buying the wrong xtal in Germany (my own fault) and the fact that xtals cost 4 times the price here than in Germany, and they dont sell RX xtals separately here. When LHS put huge mark ups due having a monopoly in a country, I will buy outside if I can.
I also didnt realise there was a limitation on using freqs within your own band. I always thought I could use any freq. as in 40.660 to 40.850 with the same TX.
