Do you know what they meant? Absent any context I don't think ``remote control'' has another well known device. I'm assuming that the person I responded to doesn't have a background in this stuff as this is was their first introduction to antenna radiation patterns.
- chrisseaton 7y agoNot sure if you’re joking or trolling, but for example ‘remote control car’, ‘remote control helicopter’, ‘remote control boat’, ‘remote control bomb disposal robot.’ The handset you use to control them is itself called the ‘remote control.’ That's what they mean.
- katmannthree 7y agoNo, I'm serious. Thank you for explaining. I've heard people talk about tv remotes as ``remote controls'' several orders of magnitude more times than RC gear. I've never seen someone have to reorient their RC transmitter to get a better signal. Modern RC airplane/car/helicopter/boat transmitters have multiple fixed antennas (as do the receivers) and have for many years (since people switched from 50MHz radios to 2.4GHz spread spectrum radios). The range is long enough that it you'll generally lose sight of your vehicle before you lose the radio connection.
