Default dog collar interference?

I lost my four star 40 today

I was flying straight and level when i lost all radio function on all four channels. The airplane entered a powered shallow dive, started a small bank to the right, and, well it wasnt pretty. Anyway, the radio worked fine afterwards. I found out that there was a woman at the field who had been using an electronic dog collar for training dogs. Anyone know what freq. those are on and if they can interfere?

thanks

The wing is probably repairable, the fuse went into 3 pieces, and the tail was perfect. I think the engine and all the gear going to be ok.

Most operate in the low 200Mhz's. Some are in the 400Mhz's. RF power is low.

That is what happen to me. Complete freeze on it all. No glitching or nothing. It all worked fine when i brought the carcass back to the table. First time in 5 years.
