Take a look at the Polk's Hobbies http://www.polkshobby.com/ receivers.

They are fully synthesized (do not require a crystal ) and cost about $60.00 - $80.00 (depending on if you want a 6 channel [$60 - $70] or an 8 channel [$70 - $80] ). Regular receivers cost about $45 - $55 and then add in about $8 - $10 for the crystal.

I have 3 of their receivers and have absolutely no complaints with them.
