Re: does anyone have OI and RC radio issues

This brings up some interesting issues with the radios this year. So that everyone knows, the FCC site has internal photos of the radios. These photos show a second antenna withing the black enclosure. It is positioned on the side oppositie the metal antenna. I expect that teams will find more stable communications if this side of the enclosure is positioned away from metal support structure. Only time will tell.
