I might add that a single channel receiver can receive class B , but due to
the alternating transmission on 2 channels and the lower class B transmit
frequency, it can take a hell of a long time before you pick up a class B.
Not a good thing if you're on a collision course!

| Get a 2-channel one if you want to be able to see class B or a class B
