A report from Bill Baker about problems with channel 55, proceed with caution:
From: william l baker
Subject: twilight zone
recently I had the experience that the Beaver labled “twilight zone “at CORCS: basicly neither of my channel 55 radios would operate my Buzzer, which is an “Old Faithful “if I ever had one . The HiTec 7 radio I sent back to California, ( it had been there a few months ago) as it would not operate any function on the reciever and the five channel “Flash X ” would operate the servos but not the throttle. A day or so later I checked and the 5 channel would operate all functions normally.Today I took the same model out to CORCS and flew with the 5channel with rock solid control. I even took it up pretty high and collapsed the antenna, a good range check, as control response was still solid.Since it is not an equipment failure (the 7 channel Tx excepted) it has to be some rf being transmitted from somewhere.Maybe the Lloyd Noble balloon flyers are now using 55 ?Or is there a more powerful source splattering over several frequencies ?
