Radio Channels
Communication between the transmitter ( handset ) and receiver ( bait boats ) is accomplished using a four channel FM radio set.
Radio Range
Radio range is a measurement of the maximum distance the transmitter ( handset ) and receiver ( bait boats ) can be apart before the signal is too weak to be picked up by the receiver ( bait boats ).
Navigation Lights
These are used to allow the angler to see the bait boats from a distance or at night. The positioning of the lights allows the angler to pilot the bait boats.
NiCad "Nickel Cadium"
All batteries contain a chemical substance that holds the electrical charge.
Nickel Cadium is one of those substances and has the advantage that it can be recharged
Thrust
Thrust is produced by the motor and causes the bait boats to move forwards or backwards at a range of speeds.
Droppers
The droppers can take a wide range of rigs and bait from small partials to large dead baits.
Rudder
The rudder controls the flow of water past the bait boats as it moves. The rudder can be moved to control the direction of the bait boats.
AC "Alternating Current"
Alternating current is made up of electric charge that constantly changes polarity. UK mains electricity is alternating current, with a charge that changes polarity 50 times a second.
DC "Direct Current"
Direct current is a constant charge of electricity in a single polarity. It is always found in batteries, but can also be generated by converting AC. Low power electronics are usually DC operated, including the bait boats.
