1. A radio control receiver for receiving, on one of a plurality of radio channels, receiver identifying code and control data in a periodically repeated time frame for operating a plurality of devices in a model in accordance with respective control data on each of a plurality of device channels included within said one radio channel, the receiver having data storage containing a code unique to the receiver, a tuner arranged to scan a plurality of radio channels, and a processor for processing receiver identifying code received on a scanned radio channel with the unique code to determine whether transmissions on the scanned radio channel are intended for the receiver, and said tuner being responsive to an output from the processor indicating either that transmissions on the scanned radio channel are intended for the receiver, for thus causing the tuner to lock onto said scanned radio channel, or that the transmissions on said scanned channel are not intended for the receiver, for thus causing the tuner to tune to another of the plurality of radio channels.
