RE: high or low band
That only applies to certain Futaba 72mhz recievers, there is no factors to deciding which to purchase.
The only time its relevent is if you have one of the recievers that is designated as such, then if you want to change the reciever crystal and have a "low band" designated reciever you can only change it to another low band channel (11-35) without sending it for re-tuning.

RE: high or low band
Back when I bought my then new Futaba radio I looked to see over a period of months what channel at my two clubs was used least. I went with low band 15 and it worked out well for me. As mentioned, Futaba RXs are either or. I have several brand new RXs, 9 ch PCM that were given to me. Very good RXs but they are all high band. I have in the past put in low band crystals in high band RXs without problems but I have been told I could have a range problem and signal glitches doing it. At this point in time I no longer want to risk a plane so I haven't bothered with the new RXs, I have just started changing my planes over to 2.4. I bought a 2.4 module for my radio, works slick as can be.
