    27Mhz anyone?



    It was used at the sub run in Papplewick....https://www.theassociationofmodelsub...io-ideas#12870 at the very end of postings.
    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

    CB radio frequencies in the United States span from 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz and are divided into 40 channels, each spaced 10 kHz apart
    From the FCC: Citizens Band Radio Service (CB)
    •CB service allows two-way radio communications.
    •CB service operates on 40 shared channels on a "take-turns" basis, meaning no CB channel is assigned to any specific individual or organization. Users must never talk with another station for more than 5 minutes continuously, and must wait at least one minute before starting another communication on the same channel.
    •CB equipment used in the United States must be FCC-certified and labeled as such by the manufacturer.
    •You may not raise the power output of your CB unit, attach any type of power amplifier or modify the unit internally. The maximum authorized power levels vary depending on whether the station is transmitting a single side band signal (up to twelve watts Peak Envelope Power or PEP) or an AM signal (up to four watts PEP).

      I admire the engineering feat of designing these custom TX/RX units, but I can't help but think that it's kind of overcomplicated... given the availability of modern 900Mhz systems.

        Too big, too arcane and probably too expensive. Will sell in single figures if at all. Needs to be a third of the size, plug and play and at a reasonable cost or it'll simply be a technological wank-off.
