RC Transmitters in Your RC’s Radio System

RC transmitters are the most basic and important tools for those who utilize RC models. The transmitter allows the entire action of the model to happen. The transmitter sends specific signals to the receiver based on the commands that you give your model through the remote.

There are plenty of different issues that could come up and have come up in the world of RC transmitters. This has caused an incredible wave of technology to sweep through the model scene through the years, as manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to combat the problems that may arise.

Older systems relied on the radio frequencies surrounding 35Mhz for communication. This was a valid option, but an option that caused a myriad of problems. Users of RC models had regular issues with interference and glitching because of the various radio levels and sounds that operate on that level. This is why the entire RC model scene has switched to 2.4GHz frequencies, a change backed and supported by the FCC.

The technology behind 2.4GHZ is simple - it puts the remote controlled and radio controlled objects out of the same frequencies that come from other products or noises for similar products. The change to 2.4GHz has helped to virtually eliminate any of the issues that model fliers and model drivers had with their earlier frequencies.

Spread Spektrum technology takes 2.4GHz and puts it on an entirely different level. The system actually operates on more than one frequency channel, completely changing how the transmitter and receiver communicate.

The synched transmitter and receiver will hop from frequency channel to frequency channel on a regular basis, each change only milliseconds long. The constant switching allows the two to operate on the least used channels, working to give you the clearest connection possible. This works with the 2.4GHz technology to eliminate interference.

Another type of technology that has changed the way that RC models operate is DSM2 technology. This technology works to increase the connection between the transmitter and the receiver. The bit-rate between the two is increased, meaning that the communication between the two is faster and more secure. This completely increases the reaction time between the two, giving RC fliers and drivers greater control than ever before.

The Bind and Fly system plays off of this type of technology, using the original DSM technology to go digital. This means that there is no radio interference possible, because the system does not use the usual radio crystals for communication between the two.

The "Binding" part of the Bind and Fly is when the receiver of the system actually locks on to the transmitter. The two have locked together, making communication channels solid and interference free.

RC transmitters continue to see improved technology as more and more professionals crave increased connection and communication. The technology behind RC models like model airplanes and model trucks continues to impress, with systems becoming more and more complex every year.

If you are thinking about purchasing an expensive model, you can know that the technology behind the transmitter will keep it safe and keep your experience enjoyable.
