I have been using a synthesized module in a 9Z for the last 6 years and would not go back to anything else. The transmitter has 25 or 26 models programmed in on 10 or more frequencies. It beats the multiple transmitter shuffle and battery maintainence on multiple transmitters plus it doesn't require the purchase of too many single frequency modules to justify buying the synthetic module.
I have heard that some aftermarket receivers do not work as well with them but have not experienced that with the ones that I am using.

It seems that the channel I fly on has become popular and I am having to wait a good while for my turn with the pin. I am looking at some of my options.
My radio is a Futaba 9c. Its my understanding that I can get a syntheisized module for the transmitter and select a different frequency without having the transmitter re-tuned..correct?
As for the receiver it looks like I can buy a syntheisized receiver, which appear to be kind of pricey or buy a couple of crystals for the receivers I am currently using, which are all Hitec.
I guess my question is am I understanding this correctly? Are there any more tips that I need to know.
Thanks for any advice on this.
