gangster Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Was looking on eBay the other day and couldn't help thinking the price of 35mhz was on the up seems the same for run of the mill engines compared to a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Well I'm certainly not selling my Multiplex 35mHz IPD receivers or my Mux3030 transmitter despite now using my Taranis 2.4GHz for 90% of my models. They're worth more to me than I could get for them on eBay. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 My Field Force 8 and many receivers are still used and not long agao I added to my 35 Mhz receiver stock. You have to search for crystals if you are on a allocated frequency in a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eflightray Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I still have a Futaba FPT5N Tx gathering dust. My JR 347 Tx I converted to 2.4 with a Corona module, has worked well with the Corona receivers. Though my 90% of the time system is still my Spektrum DX7, never faulted. Ray.

Tomtom39 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Im still using my Fleet 35mhz with no issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcaddict Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 thats my point John, its not getting used, I have about 15No 2.4Ghz Rx's now, my Tx is a DX8 G2 with a 250 model memory so cant see me ever using them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I let mine go OG, sat in a drawer they are worthless, better to move them on to someone who'll use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucksboy Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 You literally cannot give away ordinary 35mhz receivers in my club. We leave stuff on the table in the Club Hut for others, with a note saying they need a new home and they'll stay there for weeks. Biscuits go in seconds mind....

Andrew Russell 2 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I'll happily give you a few £ for your old 35mhz receivers and crystals if they are compatible with futaba. If you want rid of it I'm still flying 35mhz on my nitro stuff as i prefer it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowerman Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The only real problem with 35 MHz gear comes when you still have some models not yet converted And decide to give them an outing then forget to extend the TX ariel. I have done this twice, the first time I got away with it but the second time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Parker Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 We're not allowed to fly with 35MHz at my club since 2016, so nearly all my models are 2.4. I still use 35MHz when I'm building easier to check and set up control throws. Usually I have not got a new RX but I've always got a 35 RX and battery sitting on the shelf with TX of course.

Robert Parker Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Percy, I believe, that as more and more club members were going over to 2.4. However, this was decided as I joined the club so to be honest I'm not sure but fine by me. I've got a JR PCM 9XII radio with both modules.

ChrisB Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 35mhz is still a legal frequency and can be used by anyone flying models. As I understand it 2.4ghz can only be used at public events. I still use my JR9X with about 8 of my models as well as Spektrum. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yep you can fly 35mhz at our opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cook Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Most of my stuff still on 35mhz.. never had any glitches (JR gear), while others on 2.4G have had lock outs. I have both and use them both (need to remember to extend the aerial though on the 35mhz) Retro gear becoming popular again so keep using the 35mhz !!

Martin Leslie Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Late last summer I wandered up our local slope to find about a dozen people flying. I dug out my old Sanwa gear, extended the aerial and jokingly shouted out "Anybody on 72", yes came back the reply from 2 others. Who says 35meg is dead?
