Default 2.4g Transmitters

Hi to all,
I've come back to r/c helicopters after a few years away, I used to use 27mhz and 35 mhz, of course things have now changed to 2.4g,
My wife (she's an angel) has bought me 2 nice new helicopters, I've already got a coaxal one which is on 35mhz, But these 2 are 2.4g I've managed to hover them and walk with them, I was told that 2.4 transmitters and receivers are interchangeable , but don't seam able to just use 1 transmitter for both, any help please

Transmitters and receivers are not interchangeable.
The transmitter and receiver must be made by the same company and even that dont work sometimes.
The only exception is some manufacturers are making copies of JR and Futaba receivers.

Two of the same brand may be interchangeable but across brands, usually not.

For example you can not use a Spektrum 2.4 radio with a Futaba 2.4 receiver.

Read the chapter on receivers and the one on first radios.
