     This is the Hobbico 72MHz (channels 11-60) Radio Frequency Checker.

FEATURES: Automatically scans all 50 R/C frequencies in the 72MHz band and
            identifies those frequencies in use
          Each frequency is shown by a dedicated LED. LED showing channel in
            use stays lit, and unit continues to scan
          300'(91m) range without external antenna, 1000'(305m) with external
            antenna (not included-available separately, HCAP0341) see COMMENTS
          Prevents accidents due to unwanted Rf interference from other
            modelers' radio equipment
          Fits easily in pocket or Flight Box
          One year limited warranty

INCLUDES: One 72MHz Hobbico Radio Frequency Checker

REQUIRES: 3 AAA cells (order two SANP3502)

SPECS:    Dimensions: 3.14" x .94" x 2.36" (80 x 24 x 60mm)
          Operational Current: 20-130mA
          Frequency Identifiers: 50 Red LEDs
          Scan Frequency: 15 seconds
          Max Operational Temperature: 32°-104°F (0°-40°C)

COMMENTS: For clearest reception and best performance do not sit Frequency
            Checker on ground. Also do not aim transmitter antenna directly at
            Frequency Checker, as transmitter's weakest signal emits directly
            from the tip of its antenna.

          This Frequency Checker indicates when another R/C transmitter is on a
            particular channel. It's important to note that the frequency
            checker is NOT well suited to show very brief, intermittent RF
            signals that could cause interference and may be present in the
            environment near or between R/C channels.

          When using the external antenna, extra channels might appear in use
            if the checker is physically located very near a Tx which is
            emitting a signal. Moving the checker several feet away from the
            Tx should clear the problem. If used inside buildings which have a
            lot of steel/metal in the structure, extra channels might
            inadvertently be shown and NOT using the external antenna may
            deliver the best results in this situation.

          The instruction sheet incorrectly states that "Range is up to 300
            meters w/o external antenna" and "Range is up to 1000 meters with
            external antenna". INSTEAD of "meters" it should say "feet" in both
            places.

          If needing a 75MHz frequency checker, order DTXP3110.
          For optional Frequency Checker Antenna, order HCAP0341.
