Probably looks identical to a 72Mhz one. Big, long, silver fishing pole of an antenna on the TX and 4-5 foot piece of wire hanging out the RX. I'd expect RF wise there're few more changes than just a loading coil but with 36Mhz being half of 72Mhz they might have some simple (cheap) tricks to make them work in their respective markets. RF guys tend to have sneaky ways to pull all sorts of information out of thin air...
