27 frequency question
 

I started flying/crashing a Sky Fly with a 27 mh radio on channel 4. I like the radio very well. I just purchased a Slo V and I made sure it was also on 27 mh, channel 4 also so that I could use the original radio which is more conventional to something that I might upgrade to in the future as far as it having two lever action. .
Neither radio will nudge the other planes receiver. Both are on 27 mh and channel 4 but they don't interact at all. What am I missing here?

Perhaps one is AM and the other is FM modulation.

Or one is positive shift and one is negative shift.

Or they could be using totally differnet frame rates and timing arrangements.

it's actually more surprising that all the various brands of transmitters using FM-PPM actually do work with each other's gear (except for shift direction). I think that's going to turn out to be the exception rather than the rule in the long term. Between PCM and 2.4ghz, I suspect the days of mix-and-match TXs and RXs may be numbered.

Parkzone 3ch radios and receivers don't work like "real" radios and receivers, or so I've been told.
