- No - AM by itself is not a problem. The problem is you want a dual conversion
- receiver. The inexpensive Futaba AM systems are NOT dual conversion.
- If you want a radio RIGHT AWAY - call Tower and get the Futaba FM (Conquest).
- I know they are in stock because I ordered one this Tuesday. But for
- my purposes it is just a flight pack - I have no use for the transmitter.
- It will cost you a bit more than the AM but it is a dual conversion receiver
- and it will be safe against 2IM interference.
-
- Of course if you really want a radio RIGHT AWAY - you should go to your
- local hobby shop. You'd be surprised - most shops now match Tower prices.
- If they won't ask them to.
