[LASS Soaring] "Jack Benny is 39 and 2.4 is 38?"

[GordySoar at aol.com]

Number of systems that can be in use  simultaneously   
Spectrum  Airtronics       Futaba      Xtreme
 39               38  (?)            ?              120
 

Got these from the XtremePowerSystems site (letting the Christmas  turkey 
settle to make room for pie and this was something I had been thinking  about for 
awhile, so decided to do a little Googling).
 
Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the general modeler believed that  
with 2.4 all concerns for freq control were over....Millions could all be on at  
once...there was the story about the huge heli event with hundreds of 
attendees  most enjoying the freedom of 2.4....hmmmn.
 
Did you all believe that the amount of 2.4 TXs on at once was almost  
unlimited?
 
Here's another wrench in the freq paradise works....what about a mix of  
brands and systems?  Some using two channels at once, some hopping  around.
 
Regardless of the information encoding, radio waves are still radio waves,  
and can be shaded, mixed and diluted.
 
How do you control 100+ contestants 2.4 TX's when there isn't any channel  
assignments?  Impound every TX and only let up to 39 of one brand at a  time?  
>From 50 channels controlled to 38 hopefully safe?
 
Just wondering, if anyone else is wondering...oh yeah Merry Chrismas!
 
I got my new AMA card...you?
