Spectrum DSM radios don't work under water?

Besides, I didn't see anyone in the water talking on a phone.

Maybe it's because the 2.4 GHz doesn't work underwater.

:lol:

I agree with the wavelength not passing through water, being how dense it is. It will just reflect right off the surface.

If thats the case then badger should try standing right over it so he is within the critical angle of refraction. Where were you standing? I bet if you standing close to over the top of it the waves will pass through. "thumbsup"

Either way im sorry I missed that :lol:
 
Did you try dipping your transmitter antenna in the water? While the 2.4 gig signal may be too high-frequency to break the surface, it may travel underwater.

1:1 submarines have to surface in order to send and receive radio signals, but they're usually a little farther out than walking distance :lol:
 
he stuck the antenna of his tx into the water, still no work. it was funny watching the whole thing unfold! i just wish it went further in before it stopped!:lol:

Remember when it was just sitting there while all the air was escaping the cab? :lol: It must have spit bubbles for half a minute.
