Just a scenario I thought of: cross country flying - someone far far away from the field turns on his Spektrum radio and start flying back to the home field. The frequency "channels" on this plane/radio are set.
..... Say someone at the home field is flying a plane with a Spektrum setup and it has chosen the exact same 2 channel combination (out of 80 I believe.) As the cross country pilot gets back to his field, the radios are set & can't choose a new channel. Would both planes go into the preset lockout?.... and shoot each other down?

This is probably a very unlikely situation, but it seems like the possiblility is there. I love the new technology - but was wondering if there's a slight chance this could happen.

Thanks
Terry
