8.33 VHF Comms Radios.
Just a question out of curiosity.
I am a NPPL pilot...but stopped flying just before the introduction of 8.33 radios.
Just wondering...have there been many operational problems related to the introduction of the 8.33 radios?
In the months before I hung up my headset there was lots of confusion when I chatted to other pilots on the subject.

There is some ongoing confusion about which stations have changed frequencies and which haven’t. Doncaster being one of them.
Sywell changed but they couldn’t be heard at all well on the new frequency with background interference - but heard far better on the old one! Now resolved.
I don’t like the extra heads in time it takes to redial a frequency. I used to do it heads out by counting clicks but seldom get an 8.33 frequency correct without looking at the indication.
