Default RE: Futaba High Band / Low Band

I have never heard of this in the UK. We operate on 35Mhz with 36 channels seperated by 10Khz. That's from 34.950MHz (ch 55)to 35.300MHz (ch 90), and I've never seen any reference to limits applied to any receiver or transmitter. It's common practice here to swap crystals to avoid clashing with another flier. I accept that the aerial tuning circuits will not be (cannot be) absolutely peaked throughout the band and this will result in a slight reduction of range, but it's a change from out of sight, to a long way out of sight. In any case a lot further away than I'd be comfortable flying, and well outside the designated flying limits of my club site.

Which Futaba receivers are these high/low limits applied to?
