CAN I USE MY RADIO/RECEIVER FOR UNDERWATER PURPOSE?
Hi,
Nowadays, ı am planning to make a wireless underwater camera. I am not sure if ı can use my existing transmitter (Futaba 9 Cap for airplanes) for controlling the servo to tilt the camera. (the water resistant camera system will be about 10 meters below the water surface) I think the transmition logic is completely different when going underwater but it might be able to control from some distance..
Any comments please,
Thanks,
Fatih

RE: CAN I USE MY RADIO/RECEIVER FOR UNDERWATER PURPOSE?
My understanding is that you're only going to get about 1 meter of range under water, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. Here in the US we can't use 72 MHz for "land' use, but use 75MHz instead. I would post in the sub forum as these guys would know all the ins and outs of transmission underwater.
