Status: offline 		how often do i need to change the crystals, and how much are they, or would it just be better to buy a remote that you need to never buy new crystals?

Status: offline 		Wow, that is another new one on me. But if it's a good idea to change the crystals in your radio would someone let me know? And how often (if at all) do you need to do this?

Status: offline 		I still have some radios and crystals that are pushing 20 years old in 75 AM without any problems. Have never had a crystal go bad in either land or air frequencies. I'm sure some have gone bad, but usually after a bad crash etc.
