Radio Channels

The 35Mhz frequency range is split up into 36 channels.  The channel that you are using is determined the the pair of crystals you have plugged into your radio transmitter and receiver.

When flying, you should make it clear to other modellers what channel you are using.  This is often done using a pegboard system.  An existing member will be able to explain the exact system used by your local club.

Currently available channels and their corresponding frequencies are shown below:

Note: In order to minimise the risk of radio interference, some clubs operate on an "even" or "odd" channel only policy.
