# §95.731. Permissible RCRS use.


RCRS transmitters may only be used to transmit one-way communications and only for the purposes set forth in this section. (One-way communications are transmissions which are not intended to establish communications with another station.)

- (a) **Control of model crafts and devices.** When an RCRS transmitter is used to control a model craft or device, the RCRS channels in specific frequency bands must be used, based on the type of model craft or device being controlled, as follows:
  - (1) RCRS channels in the 72 MHz frequency band may be used only to control and operate model aircraft.
  - (2) RCRS channels in the 75 MHz frequency band may be used only to control and operate model surface craft.
  - (3) RCRS channels in the 26-28 MHz frequency band may be used to control or operate any kind of device.
- (b) **Telecommand.** Any RCRS channel may be used by the operator to turn on and/or off a device at a remote location.
- (c) **Telemetry.** Any RCRS channel in the 26-28 MHz frequency band may be used to transmit a signal from a sensor at a remote location that turns on and/or off an indicating device for the operator.
