Default RE: jr transmitter

Hi everyone,
There's a simple way to check the channel you're on if you know the frequency:

Look at the crystal to get the frequency, say it's 72.090. Take the first two numbers after the decimal point, in this case 09, add 21 and divide the result by 2, and you get the channel.
In this example, it's 09 + 21= 30 divide by 2 (30/2)=15, so this radio is on channel 15.
It's simple enough you can do it at the field to check any suspect Tx.
John is correct, the FCC doesn't care about receivers, their regulations control transmitters and if you modify an existing Tx without the proper license, you are in violation of the law, and the AMA safety code.
BRG,
Jon
