At a user level they all work, and IF there's strong enough interference to swamp the entire band, first it would be operating illegally, second it would probably take everything down.

Just so you know, I worked on these systems (voice and data) on anti submarine warfare aircraft for years.

IF I buy the ticket with the correct sequence of numbers THEN I will never have to work again (and I'll finally have a turbine heli).

Chances are I'm going to get up for work 5 days a week for a long time to come.

Opjose, You're right, I concede my point.

I had been misthinking as you said. I didn't know that it is looking at a broad range of signals centered about the center frequency. Then it does this on two areas of the band.

Thank you for setting me straight,

Double post - no need to grovel.

LOL

We've been thinking one way for so long its like going to Europe and driving on the wrong side of the road, its just hard to get your head around it.

Does that mean the signals are on the other side of the highway in Europe?

As far as I know all European countries don't drive on the wrong side or left side of the road, except for UK (United Kingdom) and Ireland. Rest of the countries drive on the right hand side of the road like here.

Been to England and Scotland and they both do it. Rather weird, especially considering you're driving from whats normally (for us) the passenger side of the car. Bahamas was wrong side of the road but the right side of the car.

I see what your saying, I think what I was thinking is right. You added the others ( other 2.4 tx's ) into the mess, the fact that my rx is bound ( a code keeps them talking , just to each other ) and only responses to my tx ( the blue cars).

ya, I think I have a better idea what the 2.4 is doing now.

thanks

sticks

ok, proably a real dumb question, my heads spinning, how many lanes are on a 2.4 "highway" ?

Here's the bottom line....... 950 pilots at IRCHA last year, 18 flight stations and god knows how many in the pits tinkering and in the manufacturer tents demo'ing, and I dont recall hearing any problems. If your field is going to be busier than that, then you might have cause to worry

A large random number...
