Default Ignition Switch/Charge Port & 2.4GHz RX

I would like to place both the Ignition and Receiver Battery Switch/Charge Port in the same Fuselage Switch Compartment that will also hold the Air Fill Valve, Air pressure gauge, etc; I am using 2.4GHz Futaba Fasst, and the RX placement will be in close proximity to these switches; I will also be using a Opti-Kill Transmitter operated Ignition Kill set up; any problems with interference with the RX, I know on 72MHz you had to place the Ignition Switch as far a way from the RX as possible; is this still the case with 2.4GHz?

Thanks.

Should not be a problem. I use a voltage reg powered by 3cell LiPo to power my gassers, both RX and IGN, I run JR 2.4 gear and have never had a problem with them.

Cheers

jetmech05;

Thanks for the reply, a couple of quick questions. Are you using 2.4 GHz and how close are these switches to the Receiver?

Thanks, Doug.

Yes I am 2.4...but don't think 2.4 is interference proof...any frequency band can be interfered with....
I am using an optic kill switch.....the receiver is aft of the switches, by around 3 or 4 inches...
By the way I am Doug too
