I am sorry I certainly know its not what you want to hear but three Rx's all failing to function in short order its time to look at your Tx.

Perhaps its time to look at 2.4 there are many marvelous deals going all the time.

All those Hitec receivers are fine if treated near decently. I have a number of them, all kinds. No problems. I still fly a lot of 72MHZ. Just have to remember to check the channel board, pull the card, pull out the antenna, and fly, then leave the card back in the channel board!

FROM the minutes of the July 20 AMA EC Meeting minutes: Tony Stillman Report::
>>>>>
He reported that 6 planes flying on 2.4 were recently brought down in one weekend as a result of seismic testing (on 2.4) down the road from a flying site; it should be understood that the state or county can use 2.4 for scientific or education use. He just wanted to bring this to Council’s attention.

2.4 ain't always the saviour! I still like the basics of what I used 40 years ago! HA!
