Cees,

I am not too sure what you mean by...


"It is interesting to know Orbit “reeds” was beaten by Telecont 9 during (one of) the latest world championships with tip-tip radio using pilots.
And were these systems reliable? Of course and also the Man Machine Communication was much easier. "

A given system isn't beaten by another system. It is a combination of Man, Machine, and Radio (and probably what they had for breakfast) that determines who wins a contest.

Isn't the Telecont 9 just the same as reeds but using tone filters instead of reeds for decoding? What about the Telecont 9 made the Man Machine Communication easier? I assume you meant it was easier than reeds. The system shown does show a stick that would trigger two control surfaces at one time instead of having a single toggle per control surface as the reeds did.
