RADIO EQUIPMENT
1-51: Radios used in ROAR competition are limited to the following channels: 27 MHz–Channels
specifically, 26.995, 27.045, 27.095, 27.145, 27.195, 27.255.; 75 MHz–Channels 61 through 90, to
include odd and even numbered channels; 50 MHz–Channels 00, 02, 06, and 08; and 53 MHz–
Channels 100 through 800. Radio Shack Frequency Counter (Part # 22-305) or similar device is
recommended for testing for legal frequencies.
1-52: All radio equipment must conform to FCC rules. .(as far as i know the spectrum is FCC approved) Only narrow band (20 MHz spacing) radios
will be allowed to use the 75 MHz frequencies in ROAR competition.
1-53: A driver must use his assigned frequency. All frequency changes must be approved by the
Race Director. The use of reversed crystals is prohibited.
1-54: Drivers using 50 MHz and 53 MHz radios must have an FCC Amateur Radio license issued
for that radio in their possession. The use of radios operating on 29 MHz, 40 MHz, or CB (split)
channels is prohibited.
1-55: Radios will display the clip for the frequency used during practice. Participants must be able
to legally change frequencies. At Level 3 and 4 events, two alternate frequencies are required.
Now reading the Rules, I don't see anything that says its NOT legal. It is up to the RACE DIRECTOR.
