The basic checks are, batts good ?, all plugs tight ? Ck the manual, there are dip switches on the TX. Make sure they are in the correct position. Double ck the manual for set up and do a good range check before you fly. The dips are if you have the Spektrum tX

You may try replacing the crystals. Enen though you got new ones one may be damaged in the package. Also sound liky you could have a problem with your antena. Check that over real good and make sure it's not damaged somehow. Could have one or both bad. I fly CX2 with 2.4 so I never had that problem but I also have a Falcon 40 on stock fm radio gear and there is definately a limit to how far I can go.
