<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks, all. This hobby dealer first puts the
receiver down on the counter....and then says "What crystal do you need?".
I'd better talk to him. Though, I've never had range
problems.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>No problem. THe
differences are in the receivers, not the crystals. Just be sure you
know if your reeiver is low or high band, then just buy the crystal a channel
that the receiver will work with.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif

My local hobby store sells receivers, PPM, and separately sells crystals
for them. Might be channel 6..or 60. Could this be a
problem?</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Harry..</FONT>

Crystals</FONT> <BR><BR><BR><BR><FONT face=sans size=2>Tony S can give you the
tech detail, but receivers are tuned circuits. The crystal is key to
creating the reference frequency used to filter the signal picked up on the
antenna. The crystal sets up the basic reference frequency and the
circuitry around it can only be used for a narrow range, or band, of
frequencies. The futaba receivers come in two types that have components
that tune each to a different band. You can put a low freq crystal in a
high band receiver, but you'll have a detuned system, reduced range, and
possible signal lock loss. I wouldn't do it.</FONT><FONT
