<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What does Spectral capacity - 40 systems mean? Is this the number of tranmitters that can operate in range of each other, or is this 40 channels or what?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>This is grossly simplified, but the 2.4 ghz band has about 80 frequencies. Each Spektrum unit picks two unused frequencies and transmits on both. 80/2=40 transmitters that can operate at once. It is a requirement of the FCC that things on this band don't interfere with each other, and transmitter power is strictly regulated, therefore anything using the band has to check before transmitting. You have no idea which two frequencies you are on (nor do you care), as they change each time the transmitter turns on.</DIV>

<DIV>I've flown my Dad's Arresti III with the DX7 extensively. Absolutely solid link, with no fear of getting shot down. I have been waiting for something like the modules so I could use a decent transmitter for things like throttle curves, conditional mixes, etc.</DIV>

<DIV>I don't want to be at a field that has 40 airplanes in the air at once!</DIV></DIV>
