Hi,
Slowly working toward the Krick Type VIIb; at least when finished I should be able to re-write the abysmal instructions that come with the kit. But one aspect that must be shared by all subs is that of choice of radio frequency.
I intend to use 27MHz AM, as I have a load of stuff left over from model aircraft. I believe that 2.4GHz is practically useless in this application, especially if diving is intended, but can find nothing definitive. 35MHz would be illegal here in UK; 40MHz could be used, but it seems to be province of racing cars. What else is OK in UK?
Also, despite trawling the 'net, I have not found any guidelines on receiver installation, particularly regarding the disposition of the antenna - which for 27MHz is just a length of wire.
Any observations from those with practical experience would be most welcome.
