class=600512705-03122005> Actually it sounds pretty tough to do already
and remember this will really only work if EVERYONE complies. To put that
into a real world perspective, there are still people using old non-narrow
band radios (I'm not naming anyone but I've seen it) even though this is
"illegal". Who enforces any of these "laws"? Their argument is "My radio
still works fine, I didn't see the need to send it in and pay to have
it changed when all of that narrow-band stuff was happening". Now the
manufacturers refuse to service the old radios so even if someone wanted to
comply, they couldn't unless they sent it to a repair facility. Look on
eBay. How many of those old radios ("works fine, it was my father's") do you
think end up back in service with a new owner who got a good deal on it?
Scary isn't it? The point is what would make the current crop of "park
flier" radios and their owners any different?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=600512705-03122005> I like the idea that some of those "toy"
airplanes are on 27 MHz. Maybe use that band for park fliers and leave the
72 MHz band alone. You can change Tx crystals in that band "legally" too so
you can make low cost transmitters that don't require a modular RF deck. I
bet if GWS brought out a low-cost 27 MHz single-conversion Rx and a
transmitter to go along with it, the phase-in would start almost
immediately.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One approach has not been brought up that
could seriously help the problem. Take away "X" number of our
channels and assign them to E-ONLY. Xtals sold only for e-fliers
rx's-change the pin spacing for the mass produced ones, and the e-fliers
Tx's made with xtals only available for those channels. Re-call all
those out for "fix" at no expense. Advertise on the impact to them and
their parents for responsibility if you do not get it done. Put some
"fear" like teeth into doing it. Won't get them all, but can
sweep them up as they are seen and found, to get them
redone. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Make xtal adapters for those who want to
convert to their "big" radios with legal "sign-off" when
purchased, for their responsible use. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Replace FREE all TX and RX xtals, thru AMA,
f</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>or existing radios on those frequencies.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Probably a lot more holes and
variables I missed, and would take a concerted effort to get all
"toy" radio mfgs. to comply. Seems like AMA and all their membership, and
hobby shops, etc. should have some strong influence on
them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>May take an FCC order to get it done--with
some serious legal teeth for mfg. of non compliant radios.e.g. put the
lawers on their trail for selling illegal stuff if someone gets
hurt.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lots tougher to do than it sounds, but the
sooner we do something the fewer to correct. </FONT></DIV>
