This from Fred Marks of FMA.
The most extreme test ( No pun intended!) reported of this parameter was
reported by Mike Lee in his RCM column in which he reported that he
deliberately flew the Extreme right down the flight line about six feet up
to check adjacent channel and third order performance. Other than threats
against his life if he did it again, Extreme 5 had no problem whatsoever.
of course, we knew that when we qualified the receiver a couple of years
back. I don't know how many thousands we have in the field right now, but
we have never had a single report of interference with the X5. This is
reflected in the fact that all serious electric flyers now use the Extreme 5
and replace all the GWS/Feather/JR whatevers with Extreme 5. X5 performance
has led to the suggestion that all NEAT Fair participants should plan to fly
dual conversion in Sept! Wehave one other unsolicited report from Keith
Shaw that surfaced at Toledo. Seems that Keith and members of the Freq
committee were running tests to see how close fields (Or unknown park
flyers) could operate to each other (on the same freq). An Extreme 5 was
flown to max visible altitude; a second transmitter was turned on on the
same freq, but with the antenna half way collapsed. Extrem 5 flew as if no
interferer was present. Yet, when the primary transmitter was turned off,
the XMTR with collapsed antenna had perfect control. Howzat!!!!
