after i went spektrum,
Just remember 2 points about using the Spektrum in the uk:-
1, at the moment it's ilegal to actualy use one, You are actualy breaking the law, nothing to do with the brca. The 2.4ghz band isn't aproved for r/c models.
2, if/when it becomes legal to use in the uk, the brca has then to ratify it's use, until then you will not be covered by the brca insurance.
A mail I recived from OFFCOM in september
Our ref: OCMS Call 2535417
Ofcom do indeed issue an information sheet on model control, but the actual regulations are covered in a document called the Interface requirement IR2030. There is a separate section in this document http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radiocomms/ifi/tech/interface_req/msoC4784.pdf for model control, but there is also a section (table 2.2) for general telecommand. The legal position is that controlling models is by definition telecommand and so they can use the 2.4 GHz allocation in table 2.2, so long as the technical parameters are met. However, this band is "general telecommand", so the model control use will need to share this band with any number of competing technologies, with the consequent effect on the potential for interference to the model.
By now the ra60 should have been updated was due for nov 6, BRCA approved its use at the AGM so their insurance covers it. So it is now legal specificaly not just through general telecommand.
See ya
