Default Re: Independent tests prove lack of frequency hopping with XPS

Okay, 2.4 is looking more and more dangerous. . for whatever reasons. . increase in signals and interference above 50', stray "badly tuned" 2.4 systems floating around, the frequency hopping features not being as good as they seemed to be. . more and more big corporations using 2.4 and taking up more bandwidth. .. . .

900mhz is looking okay. . for now, but it's only a matter of time until it gets overused/abused, right?

72 mhz works, but you can get shot down by people ignorant of the frequency pins, or other stuff on the 72 mhz band

27 is truly dangerous.

5.8 ghz has an even shorter range than 2.4

Control line can get shot down by a frayed wire.

Free Flights sometimes just fly away. .

There's a lot of money, time, effort, and research being done to make our hobby, and our tenuous radio links, better. I'm sadly shaking my head in disbelief that no one seems to have finally produced the magic pill that will resolve the problems of interference and glitches. Just look at this thread . .tons of posts, and no one has the answer, but all that appears is more and more questions and doubts.

I'm thinking of developing a neural interface helmet, that uses boosted telepathic signals on the Terahertz range to link to a borg receptor on the aircraft. That way, the only possible lockouts are from my own brain. Someone said that still happens. . may as well make it the ONLY way it can happen.

But seriously. . anyone else have any bright ideas on how to solve all the problems? I certainly don't, but thanks for all the gret information, that has made me even more doubtful of technological innovation. I'm actually kind of depressed that all this effort, and money, and time, still has not solved the problem in a satisfactory manner.
