Since this thread has drifted into the future of RC RF, how about this scenario. Eventually all the car guys will graduate to using 2.4G SS, (if not force them), thus allowing 75Mhz to be utilized for RC spread spectrum. Then allow the exclusive use to aircraft. If some old non compliant

Interesting idea Steve. I think I like it. However, SS may require more bandwidth than is available on 70ish MHz. Don't know... (hey Simon?) Besides that it would be a radical change and difficult to force down their throats. ;-) Bill Swingle Janesville, CA RCSE-List facilities provided by

But it is clear that we need more power/range than what current 802.11x can offer. Apart from range (limited) the real killer with something like 802.11 is latency. You probably won't notice it with just one or two people flying but if you had a contest with a couple of dozen then the
