A What Has Happened Since 1983 January 1983 AMA Frequency Committee led effortto provide forasafe orderly transition use 80 newlyacquired frequencies RC models Fifty frequencies designated model aircraft use 30 desig nated surface models cars boats like phase-in plan adopted byAMA designed 1 allay fears modelers insisted equipment obso leted AMA action 2 allow phase-out existing seven frequencies 3 permit adequate time develop ment new equipment summary phase-in plan Retained existing frequencies until January 1988 Blocked use new channels either side old frequencies new frequencies just 10kHz away old frequencies Blocked use new channels upper lower end two bands 72 & 75MHz within image ie 900 kHz removed other frequency range Kept channel separations 40 kHz minimum retrospect phase-in plan has effective because now clear pre viously-existing RC equipment does operate well 20kHz separations AM FM used adjacent channels European modelers have faced same problem let marketplace sort out approach has ultimately led ban use AM German modeling community England significant problems AM interfering FM phase-in plan gives us chance solve problems atimelymannerand avoid unnecessary crashes hazards As turns out demands impose RC system designs stringent foralmostanycommercial communica tions systems communication system data communications doesnt crash receives invalid signal Further seldom demands mobile communicationsworkwell close high power out-of-band trans mitter contrary RC sets must workwellwhenwetaxi relativelycloseto fellow modelers adjacent channels B How Can Make Transition Lest preceding sound gloomy let assure can done adhering phase-in plan pressing advanced radio designs Fre quency Committee confident will able use almost channels 1991 However several ways modeling community must cooperate problems avoided and/or solved Specifically individuals club frequency con trol authority Contest Directors should adopt following guidelines 1 flight lines should separated minimum 20 ft 30 ft desirable avoid transmitter intermodulation other technical issues will discussed later 2 Taxi lines flight paths should closer fifty 50 feet flight line minimize adjacent channel receiver intermodulation interference 3 Extreme caution must exercised pit areas operate transmitters less 20 ft other avoid transmit ter intermodulation can accom plished placing pit areas behind specific flight lines transmitters actually use flight should placed impound area under positive frequency control 4 transmitters year old should checked frequency occu pied bandwidth using properly calibrated spectrum analyzer accurate frequency reference also wise have receivers tuned transmitter time 5 Some AM transmitters definitely going interfere FM systems current design reasons discussed later AM transmitters operation 10-15 years old may have rather wide AM modulation sidebands happeis modelers must use patience Continued page 90 Hurst C

A What Has Happened Since 1983 January 1983 AMA Frequency Committee led effortto provide forasafe orderly transition use 80 newlyacquired frequencies RC models Fifty frequencies designated model aircraft use 30 desig nated surface models cars boats like phase-in plan adopted byAMA designed 1 allay fears modelers insisted equipment obso leted AMA action 2 allow phase-out existing seven frequencies 3 permit adequate time develop ment new equipment summary phase-in plan Retained existing frequencies until January 1988 Blocked use new channels either side old frequencies new frequencies just 10kHz away old frequencies Blocked use new channels upper lower end two bands 72 & 75MHz within image ie 900 kHz removed other frequency range Kept channel separations 40 kHz minimum retrospect phase-in plan has effective because now clear pre viously-existing RC equipment does operate well 20kHz separations AM FM used adjacent channels European modelers have faced same problem let marketplace sort out approach has ultimately led ban use AM German modeling community England significant problems AM interfering FM phase-in plan gives us chance solve problems atimelymannerand

1991 However several ways modeling community must cooperate problems avoided and/or solved Specifically individuals club frequency con trol authority Contest Directors should adopt following guidelines 1 flight lines should separated minimum 20 ft 30 ft desirable avoid transmitter intermodulation other technical issues will discussed later 2 Taxi lines flight paths should closer fifty 50 feet flight line minimize adjacent channel receiver intermodulation interference 3 Extreme caution must exercised pit areas operate transmitters less 20 ft other avoid transmit ter intermodulation can accom plished placing pit areas behind specific flight lines transmitters actually use flight should placed impound area under positive frequency control 4 transmitters year old should checked frequency occu pied bandwidth using properly calibrated spectrum analyzer accurate frequency reference also wise have receivers tuned transmitter time 5 Some AM transmitters definitely going interfere

frequencies 3 permit adequate time develop ment new equipment summary phase-in plan Retained existing frequencies until January 1988 Blocked use new channels either side old frequencies new frequencies just 10kHz away old frequencies Blocked use new channels upper lower end two bands 72 & 75MHz within image ie 900 kHz removed other frequency range Kept channel separations 40 kHz minimum retrospect phase-in plan has effective because now clear pre viously-existing RC equipment does operate well 20kHz separations AM FM used adjacent channels European modelers have faced same problem

A What Has Happened Since 1983 January 1983 AMA Frequency Committee led effortto provide forasafe orderly transition use 80 newlyacquired frequencies RC models Fifty frequencies designated model aircraft use 30 desig nated surface models cars boats like phase-in plan adopted byAMA designed 1 allay fears modelers insisted equipment obso leted AMA action 2 allow phase-out existing seven frequencies 3 permit adequate time develop ment new equipment summary phase-in plan Retained existing frequencies until January 1988 Blocked use new channels either side old frequencies new frequencies just 10kHz away old frequencies Blocked use new channels upper lower end two bands 72 & 75MHz within image ie 900 kHz removed other frequency range Kept channel separations 40 kHz minimum retrospect phase-in plan has effective because now clear pre viously-existing RC equipment does operate well 20kHz separations AM FM used adjacent channels European modelers have faced same problem let marketplace sort out approach has ultimately led ban use AM German modeling community England significant problems AM interfering FM phase-in plan gives us chance solve problems atimelymannerand avoid unnecessary crashes hazards As turns out demands impose RC system designs stringent foralmostanycommercial communica tions systems communication system data communications doesnt crash receives invalid signal Further seldom demands mobile communicationsworkwell close high power out-of-band trans mitter contrary RC sets must workwellwhenwetaxi relativelycloseto fellow modelers adjacent channels B How Can Make Transition Lest preceding sound gloomy let assure can done adhering phase-in plan pressing advanced radio designs Fre quency Committee confident will able use almost channels 1991 However several ways modeling community must cooperate problems avoided and/or solved Specifically individuals club frequency con trol authority Contest Directors should adopt following guidelines 1 flight lines should separated minimum 20 ft 30 ft desirable avoid transmitter intermodulation other technical issues will discussed later 2 Taxi lines flight paths should closer fifty 50 feet flight line minimize adjacent channel receiver intermodulation interference 3 Extreme caution must exercised pit areas operate transmitters less 20 ft other avoid transmit ter intermodulation can accom plished placing pit areas behind specific flight lines transmitters actually use flight should placed impound area under positive frequency control 4 transmitters year old should checked frequency occu pied bandwidth using properly calibrated spectrum analyzer accurate frequency reference also wise have receivers tuned transmitter time 5 Some AM transmitters definitely going interfere FM systems current design reasons discussed later AM transmitters operation 10-15 years old may have rather wide AM modulation sidebands happeis modelers must use patience Continued page 90 Hurst C

A What Has Happened Since 1983 January 1983 AMA Frequency Committee led effortto provide forasafe orderly transition use 80 newlyacquired frequencies RC models Fifty frequencies designated model aircraft use 30 desig nated surface models cars boats like phase-in plan adopted byAMA designed 1 allay fears modelers insisted equipment obso leted AMA action 2 allow phase-out existing seven frequencies 3 permit adequate time develop ment new equipment summary phase-in plan Retained existing frequencies until January 1988 Blocked use new channels either side old frequencies new frequencies just 10kHz away old frequencies Blocked use new channels upper lower end two bands 72 & 75MHz within image ie 900 kHz removed other frequency range Kept channel separations 40 kHz minimum retrospect phase-in plan has effective because now clear pre viously-existing RC equipment does operate well 20kHz separations AM FM used adjacent channels European modelers have faced same problem let marketplace sort out approach has ultimately led ban use AM German modeling community England significant problems AM interfering FM phase-in plan gives us chance solve problems atimelymannerand avoid unnecessary crashes hazards As turns out demands impose RC system designs stringent foralmostanycommercial communica tions systems communication system data communications doesnt crash receives invalid signal Further seldom demands mobile communicationsworkwell close high power out-of-band trans mitter contrary RC sets must workwellwhenwetaxi relativelycloseto fellow modelers adjacent channels B How Can Make Transition Lest preceding sound gloomy let assure can done adhering phase-in plan pressing advanced radio designs Fre quency Committee confident will able use almost channels 1991 However several ways modeling community must cooperate problems avoided and/or solved Specifically individuals club frequency con trol authority Contest Directors should adopt following guidelines 1 flight lines should separated minimum 20 ft 30 ft desirable avoid transmitter intermodulation other technical issues will discussed later 2 Taxi lines flight paths should closer fifty 50 feet flight line minimize adjacent channel receiver intermodulation interference 3 Extreme caution must exercised pit areas operate transmitters less 20 ft other avoid transmit ter intermodulation can accom plished placing pit areas behind specific flight lines transmitters actually use flight should placed impound area under positive frequency control 4 transmitters year old should checked frequency occu pied bandwidth using properly calibrated spectrum analyzer accurate frequency reference also wise have receivers tuned transmitter time 5 Some AM transmitters definitely going interfere

aircraft use 30 desig nated surface models cars boats like phase-in plan adopted byAMA designed 1 allay fears modelers insisted equipment obso leted AMA action 2 allow phase-out existing seven frequencies 3 permit adequate time develop ment new equipment summary phase-in plan Retained existing frequencies until January 1988 Blocked use new channels either side old frequencies new frequencies just 10kHz away old frequencies Blocked use new channels upper lower end two bands 72 & 75MHz within image ie 900 kHz removed other frequency range Kept channel separations 40 kHz minimum retrospect phase-in plan has effective because now clear pre viously-existing RC equipment does operate well 20kHz separations AM FM used adjacent channels European modelers have faced same problem let marketplace sort out approach has ultimately led ban use AM German modeling community England significant problems AM interfering FM phase-in plan gives us chance solve problems atimelymannerand

guidelines 1 flight lines should separated minimum 20 ft 30 ft desirable avoid transmitter intermodulation other technical issues will discussed later 2 Taxi lines flight paths should closer fifty 50 feet flight line minimize adjacent channel receiver intermodulation interference 3 Extreme caution must exercised pit areas operate transmitters less 20 ft other avoid transmit ter intermodulation can accom plished placing pit areas behind specific flight lines transmitters actually use flight should placed impound area under positive frequency control 4 transmitters year old should checked frequency occu pied bandwidth using properly calibrated spectrum analyzer accurate frequency reference also wise have receivers tuned transmitter time 5 Some AM transmitters definitely going interfere

A What Has Happened Since 1983 January 1983 AMA Frequency Committee led effortto provide forasafe orderly transition use 80 newlyacquired frequencies RC models Fifty frequencies designated model aircraft use 30 desig nated surface models cars boats like phase-in plan adopted byAMA designed 1 allay fears modelers insisted equipment obso leted AMA action 2 allow phase-out existing seven frequencies 3 permit adequate time develop ment new equipment summary phase-in plan Retained existing frequencies until January 1988 Blocked use new channels either side old frequencies new frequencies just 10kHz away old frequencies Blocked use new channels upper lower end two bands 72 & 75MHz within image ie 900 kHz removed other frequency range Kept channel separations 40 kHz minimum retrospect phase-in plan has effective because now clear pre viously-existing RC equipment does operate well 20kHz separations AM FM used adjacent channels European modelers have faced same problem let marketplace sort out approach has ultimately led ban use AM German modeling community England significant problems AM interfering FM phase-in plan gives us chance solve problems atimelymannerand

1991 However several ways modeling community must cooperate problems avoided and/or solved Specifically individuals club frequency con trol authority Contest Directors should adopt following guidelines 1 flight lines should separated minimum 20 ft 30 ft desirable avoid transmitter intermodulation other technical issues will discussed later 2 Taxi lines flight paths should closer fifty 50 feet flight line minimize adjacent channel receiver intermodulation interference 3 Extreme caution must exercised pit areas operate transmitters less 20 ft other avoid transmit ter intermodulation can accom plished placing pit areas behind specific flight lines transmitters actually use flight should placed impound area under positive frequency control 4 transmitters year old should checked frequency occu pied bandwidth using properly calibrated spectrum analyzer accurate frequency reference also wise have receivers tuned transmitter time 5 Some AM transmitters definitely going interfere

A What Has Happened Since 1983 January 1983 AMA Frequency Committee led effortto provide forasafe orderly transition use 80 newlyacquired frequencies RC models Fifty frequencies designated model aircraft use 30 desig nated surface models cars boats like phase-in plan adopted byAMA designed 1 allay fears modelers insisted equipment obso leted AMA action 2 allow phase-out existing seven frequencies 3 permit adequate time develop ment new equipment summary phase-in plan Retained existing frequencies until January 1988 Blocked use new channels either side old frequencies new frequencies just 10kHz away old frequencies Blocked use new channels upper lower end two bands 72 & 75MHz within image ie 900 kHz removed other frequency range Kept channel separations 40 kHz minimum retrospect phase-in plan has effective because now clear pre viously-existing RC equipment does operate well 20kHz separations AM FM used adjacent channels European modelers have faced same problem let marketplace sort out approach has ultimately led ban use AM German modeling community England significant problems AM interfering FM phase-in plan gives us chance solve problems atimelymannerand avoid unnecessary crashes hazards As turns out demands impose RC system designs stringent foralmostanycommercial communica tions systems communication system data communications doesnt crash receives invalid signal Further seldom demands mobile communicationsworkwell close high power out-of-band trans mitter contrary RC sets must workwellwhenwetaxi relativelycloseto fellow modelers adjacent channels B How Can Make Transition Lest preceding sound gloomy let assure can done adhering phase-in plan pressing advanced radio designs Fre quency Committee confident will able use almost channels 1991 However several ways modeling community must cooperate problems avoided and/or solved Specifically individuals club frequency con trol authority Contest Directors should adopt following guidelines 1 flight lines should separated minimum 20 ft 30 ft desirable avoid transmitter intermodulation other technical issues will discussed later 2 Taxi lines flight paths should closer fifty 50 feet flight line minimize adjacent channel receiver intermodulation interference 3 Extreme caution must exercised pit areas operate transmitters less 20 ft other avoid transmit ter intermodulation can accom plished placing pit areas behind specific flight lines transmitters actually use flight should placed impound area under positive frequency control 4 transmitters year old should checked frequency occu pied bandwidth using properly calibrated spectrum analyzer accurate frequency reference also wise have receivers tuned transmitter time 5 Some AM transmitters definitely going interfere FM systems current design reasons discussed later AM transmitters operation 10-15 years old may have rather wide AM modulation sidebands happeis modelers must use patience Continued page 90 Hurst C
