What probs have you had jim?
The main attraction to me with UHF seems to be the very short RX ariel...basically 4 inch or so wire, so very easy to mount in a bot.
From range checks I have done it seems fine and I remember flying a friends model circa 1977 when the British Reftec 1st came out and range was not a problem...the short stubby Tx ariel is also a bonus.
But like I say at the mo 40 mhz with a Quick Uk Rx antenna is working great for us...we read alot of bad reviews about this antenna but we have had no probs whatsoever radio wise since using it.
From asking around fellow modellers Becker UHF gear is supposed to be the dogs bol**cks and I also remember another British maker called Cotswold doing UHF gear.
Of course Roger Plant does a UHF conversion to your existing radio gear which is useful if you want to use your existing gear coz it may be a full computer set but it adds another box to the Rx and a clunky looking box on your Tx and is VERY expensive but evidently works ok.
Decisions Decisions.
