Title: 40mhz Tx/Rx
Post by: Bustergrunt on May 26, 2025, 10:24:56 am

Are these still desirable things? A deceased estate has provided me with 2 transmitters and Receivers (Futaba and Acoms), however I am unaware if these are still of use, unless it would be for submarines…
Advice would be gratefully received

Hi I have so many 27Mhtz and 40 Mhtz AM and FM that I still use my ones all the time.  There is no problem over using them, hardly any clashes over frequencies either.

Hi, you asked me if they worked, which they do,  Do they have any value?  Interesting.

Thank you for such a rapid reply . I asked because I'm potentially in the market for an F14 . Good luck with your sale.

Hi again most of the 40Mhtz 2 ch. sets are AM.  Can you see from the crystal whether it says AM or FM?
