        When did we change to 72megs for ANYTHING?   -  sorry now read the small print but can't see 9 functions
         on receiver.

Just to clarify. 72mhz is used by the flyers in the USA.

The small print clearly shows 9 functions. Also that it's available for 35MHz and 40MHz bands.
A nice radio. Nice price, too.

Would 72mhz be legal in UK?

The photos of the case front & rear don't show one.

CE Marking on a product is a manufacturer's declaration that the product complies with the essential requirements of the relevant European health, safety and environmental protection legislation.
I am not saying this radio hasn't but it's worth checking.
There has been one or two copies of legitimate radio gear coming into the UK which don't meet the requirements.

I have had a look at this and the only CE marking seems to be on the charger
