airtronics receiver crystals
Hello,
I'm in need of airtronics ch 18 receiver crystals. I was given 4 dual conversion receivers and if I can find crystals for them, it would let me max out my rd8000 transmitter.
I've searched high and low. I found some made by performance devises that were said to be for airtronics. But I would rather have airtronics brand. Has anyone had any experience with the aftermarket ones? I would be grateful if someone could help me out
Thanks in advance

RE: airtronics receiver crystals
Most US distributors have stopped ordering crystals so they are not easy to find. Hobby People does not have your channel in stock.
You can ask about them here: http://www.radicalrc.com/rrcxtalexchange.html - They do sell some directly versus requiring a trade

RE: airtronics receiver crystals
Thanks for the response. I ordered four crystals made by performance devises. Gonna compare max range with antenna collapsed against genuine airtronics crystals with engines running. I figure if I can at least get same range, I should be ok.
Take care and again thanks.

RE: airtronics receiver crystals
I have a suppy of Airtronics crystals, though very few on the low end of the band (Sorry no 18's), but
good variety on the top channels. I find most Airtroncs systems don't require tuning if moving just a
few channel away, but of course a good comparative antenna down range test is a must.
