Using Futaba crystal in a GWS 8 ch rx
I was wondering if a standard Futaba 72 mhz crystal (DC?) can be used in a GWS 72 mhz 8 ch rx. I'm guessing the rx is single conversion but it's not marked. It has the prongs for the larger crystal not the mini.
Am I asking for it?
Thanks

According to Radical RC http://www.radicalrc.com/rrcxtalexchange1208.html the GWS & Futaba DC crystals are an exact match. Plug the crystal in and see if it works.

Errr I am pretty sure GWS do 8 channel dual conversion Rxs on 72 cos I got one. Mine works just fine with a Futaba dual conversion crystal.

J.
I wouldn't have questioned it if mine said "dual conversion" like yours does.
Mine is similar but doesn't specify conversion. See website details in my last post above.

The picture J posted is model GWRD-8.
The receiver on the linked site is model GWR-8M, so they are totally different.
