Correct. For that kind of purpose I would program them to use the FRS channels, pick one, and go to town.

This is relatively simple, and will be covered in my write up of programming them.

The Radioddity antennas are coming slow boat out of China so I ordered some 7.5" and 14.5" ExpertPower antenna for around twice the price, still pretty cheap. Hell, after I ordered some UV-5R+ I dove in and ordered two UV-82. Still only 5/1W but the reviews on them seemed more positive (bigger buttons). extra batteries, larger batteries, etc. it's starting to add up and I haven't even touched one. LOL.

Now I have to go figure out a sub $100 RC boat that I can get before Monday...
