Yeah, I suppose your right. But I dont live anywhere near my flying field. Were about 15 km away from the closest field. But I'll just play it safe and go with a ground radio.

It makes a HUGE difference. These things are regulated for a reason. Lets
just say, I show up to my flying field with my new 1/4 scale Mustang that I
have $2000 invested into and probably that many hours building it. (thats a
reality) Now I am up and flying and all of a sudden I start taking "hits"
(losing signal) on my plane and it goes in and is a total loss. Well it just
so happens that down the street someone put an AIRCRAFT radio in their
car,boat, tank or other GROUND vehicle and turned it on while I was in the
air. The signal from your radio interfered with my signal and resulted in a
total loss of my
plane, with the possibility of seriously injuring someone
or something. Now I am liable for the damages to the car that my 40lb
airplane just slammed into causing $5000 worth of damage for a total of
$7000 all because someone had the wrong radio. I know its tempting to use
what you have and the above story is hypothetical, but it happens every day
