RE: Frequency Identifier Flag
This is one of main benefits of 2.4. No other plane can be on same freq. therefore no need for freq. flag. You can not get shot down ever again.

What kind of flag do I use on a freq hopper?

The AMA requirement for a colored antena flag to denote the band you were using i.e. yellow for surface 75, red for air 72 and black for the ham bands was dropped after the 2001 membership manual and is no longer recommended by the AMA.
Your local club may require anything they want of course but there are no color coded flag requirements for any systems from the AMA any more.

RE: Frequency Identifier Flag
Do they make such a flag?
We use both a clip for 2.4 GHz and a specific frequency pin for 72 MHz. Even though the 2.4GHz systems don't have the same problems that the 72MHz ones do, we still want to know that the person on the fight line, or in the pits for that matter, has a radio that has been checked in, and knows whether or not someone else is on his/her frequency.
So, if the 2.4GHz folks have a pin or a flag, we know they're not on 72 MHz and vice versa.
