[Ray Sametz]

Nice, too much drag with that telephone pole antenna.

 

[dr gary turner]

Ray there is an unbelievable amount of radio waves in Huntsville

and there can be issues of loosing range

 

[ALLAN YUEN]

Are you get goal 130 mph ? Good Luck!

Doc,

What Tranmitter and Receiver combination are you running? I had issues down there at the Nats and again in Celina, OH the following month.

 

[dr gary turner]

Futaba 4PK. DUAL ANTENNA RECEIVERS

I actually never had radio problems at Huntsville

I use a longer antenna on the receivers on all 6 or 7 boats

I think that is why no radio problems

You can get them at the Futaba Service Center

They are easy to install

 

[Brian Spitzer]

Which Rx exactly are you running? I too had issues at the Nats, recently got a new Rx from Futaba, it's not on their website yet, Tower Hibbies carries them, R324SBS, dual antenna Diversity 4 channel surface receiver. Plan on testing it next weekend.
