Metro Marine Modellers of Toronto

We often get asked what frequency of radio should I get?
What are the frequencies used?
Listed below is a table of frequencies used for surface models. There are many types of radios available, manufacturers using AM
(amplitude modulation), AM Narrow Band, FM
(frequency modulation) and PCM (pulse code modulation).
No matter what you purchase it must operate within the
following chart. Boats and Cars are allowed to run on 27 MHz (channels 1-6) and 75 MHz (channels 61-90).
