Default RE: JR Crystal Question

Actually, JR dual conversion crystals are in a red package. JR single conversion are in grey. And most JR FM receivers are single conversion with the ABC&W thingie which filters out noise. There are only a couple of JR dual conversion receivers out there, and the one in the picture isn't one.

So yes, it looks like the correct crystal.

(btw, this is why a "normal" JR crystal doesn't work in Futaba or Hitec gear, but I've seen plenty of guys interchange Hitec and Futaba crystals. Not a good idea, but it works most of the time since those are both straight forward dual conversion setups)
