hi there
to all you US flyers, very confused as to why you are not allowed to change youre crystals, over here i carry about 10 diffrent frequencys, all my models are on one TX ff8, but certain events call for us to nominate other frequencys that we can swap to to avoid 'clogging up' on just a few, as the 'end users' does this mean that you have to have qualifications that allow you to change the channel on your TV's???????

Actually we can change them, we're just constrained from posting adverts telling everyone that we have done so. There may be some peer pressure applied to one that is dense enough to change the crystal and then continue to display a Tx tag for the previous frequency. That pressure might be in the manner of a good caning with one's own Tx antenna. As for enforcing any sanction against the practice, the AMA jackboots have limited presence at most flying venues, and the FCC is far too occupied with auctioning off the ether to be bothered.
As for changing channels on the telly, that must be done under the direct supervision of SWMBO, when she is granting audience.
