UHF or vhf ?

 

The transceiver units are Vertex Standard VX-231 - G7-5, which operate between 450-520 MHz, which would make them UHF.

 

Which tracks have you tested these at? Have these been hopped up or standard sets?
Thx - trying to see if this setup is better than what I have which has dead zones at Mid Ohio and Road America

 

I've used the system at all of the So Cal tracks, including Willow Springs (big track 2.8 miles), Streets of Willow, Buttonwillow, Auto Club Speedway in Fontana.... as well Las Vegas, Pahrumph, and at the "full" track at Miller / Utah Motorsports complex in Tooele, UT (which is a 4.48 mile course) without incident. I think Utah would be the most challenging because of how big the facility is -- and I never had interference or trouble communicating with this system there.
I'm not familiar with Mid-Ohio or Road America, so I couldn't give you a fair performance assessment of this system under those track conditions -- but would imagine hills, buildings, trees, etc. could all contribute to signal challenges in any system.
I worked with Corey Sarros 's tech to help me set the system up initially (some of you may be familiar with him) and believe he was using the same system.
I haven't "hopped" this system up ( don't know how), but do know that when I bought this in 2012 from Rugged Radios it was their top of the line system (and spent north of 900.00 on it).

 

Hell, I just want this thing so somebody can tell me my tires are "matched perfect and staggered special" from the pit wall while I'm riding around......

 

Lol
