Radio Channels

[popo308]

Does anyone know how to get 8 O/I's and R/C's working together with no interference?

I am already aware of the 6 channels you can access by changing the channel dip switches on the O/I... but i need to run 8 of them not 6... Is this possible?

I don't know of a way to do 8 channels. I called them once to ask and was also aware of the 6 channels. (Tried to set this up for the Muncie Pre-Invitational this year.)

Actually if you are getting 6 channels to work together, you are VERY LUCKY. Really there are only 5 channels that will work.

From the manual:

"Note: Do not use Channel 31 and 40 at the same time with the 2007 or newer Radio Modems, interference between these Channels can cause intermittent radio communications."

Does anyone know if the 06 radios have this same problem?
