Frequency Usage - PMR

PMR446 radios are in wide spread usage however Midland Rocketry do not regularly use them during events, but if we do use them we will use Channels 4 (Sub channel 12) and 5 (Sub channel 12). Therefore we would ask for your cooperation not to use channels 4(12) and 5(12) at all. If in doubt please check with the RSO.

Frequency Usage - Trackers

Trackers are becoming wide spread it their usage but because they use the licence exempt 433MHz band there may be more than 1 user wanting to use the frequency at any one time. To avoid conflicts check the frequency first with a scanner to make sure no one is transmitting and then seek the RSO as a final check before turning your tracker on. This will also help you as there is no point turning your tracker on with another tracker in operation as all you will do is swamp the signal and no one will be able to track any of their rockets.

Frequency Usage - Wireless Video

Wireless Video is becoming to be used at out club a bit now but because they use the licence exempt 2.4GHz band there may be more than 1 user wanting to use the frequency at any one time. To avoid conflicts check the frequencies first with your receiving equipment to make sure no one is transmitting and then seek the RSO as a final check before turning your video transmitter on. This will also help you as there is no point turning your video gear on with another video transmitter in operation as all you will do is swap the signal and no one will be able to wireless video.
