    I have enough Am equipment to last 3 lifetimes. ;)
    Some I built myself, but most I've collected over 40 years in the RC hobby.
    I know AM is not blocked by hills, buidings, etc. like FM is,
    so I assumed water would not also, but I wanted to ask the experts to make sure, before sinking my boat.
    The main reason for the big switch from AM to FM, was that the FM components, in development at that time, were Cheaper to make and assemble, not that it is a better system than AM.
    Profit Rules, but Not always correct.
    What, You have old ControlAir and Heathkit stuff in the shop? I think Babcock also offered 'kits' of r/c systems 'in the day'. And Ace offered kits I think. Remember the old analog proportional gear that made the transition between reed and digital proportional? AirTrol (spelling) comes to mind.

    My first r/c was rudder only, escapement types. Then I graduated to 'galloping-ghost'.

    David,

      Ah yes, the 'Good ol' days'. :D LOL :D
      RC meant 'Real Challenge' back then.
      I nearly cried when Ace stopped making kits. :D LOL :D

        Thankfully, I'm not an electronics engineer, so that means I don't have to read that stuff, right?

        Phew! I felt a migraine coming on!
        Stop messing about - just get a Sub-driver!
