that has been one of the few complaints I've had about impounding TXs is that there are always 2 or 3 guys who want to bring their plane out to the field and work on it for hours at the time and it's always the same few people, they can't seam to grasp the concept that the field is for flying, home is where you work on em.

I've also yet to see an impound that refused a guy his TX to work on his plane (when he was on a different freq) just because XX people were flying. if you want your 2.4 out of impound go get one of the 40 2.4 pins and keep it all day if nobody else needs one because all available combinations of channels have ran out.

as for some of the other comments about wrong pin/lost pins/etc.... thats just poor management of the event people and an even better reason for better control at those events.

i have no personal objections at all to SS technology, i just fail to see why everyone who has it all of a sudden feels a need to ban this and that and change the way things are done, it's not that hard to go get a frequency pin.
