* HAM Radio Operators are alowed to operate equipment on the 50 & 53 Mhz frequencies. The 72Mhz band, channel 11 - 60, is exclusively for use with all model aircraft. The 75Mhz band, channel 61 - 90, is exclusively for use with all model cars and boats. The old 27Mhz band, channel 1-10, is still allowed but no longer used since its range is wide-band and most likely will conflict with other equipment on these freq's.

A warning was received from MAAC concerning the Futaba 8UAF/P and the PCM type Computer Radios.

Warning 1: The Futaba 8UAF/P series radio should be checked for a loose connection between the transmitter's frequency module and the radio itself. Apparently, the little 5-pin connector that is soldered into the radios' circuit board cracked (cold solder joints?) and the radio ceased to function. Please inspect your radio before it is too-late!

Warning 2: The UK Large Model Association has put out a warning about using cell phones near computer radios. There have been a number of occasions where these radios have either lost their settings or had them scrambled. There was on case where a large model had its throttle failsafe reversed so that it went full throttle on failsafe. There had been testing which confirms that using a cell phone close to a computer radio can cause a loss of settings. The recommendation is that cell phones should not be used within a 3 feet (1 meter) radius of any type of computer radio OR receiver. While the warning was originally for PCM sets, there is evidence that PPM (or FM) can also be affected. I personally would recommend to keep cellphones out of the pit area. Period!
