RE: futaba 6exap
Kindof off topic, but my question relates to the changing Tx crystals. I heard when you use a normal radio for a buddy box, you should take the crystal out, because supposedly, when its in the radio draws more power, even if its off, just its pulling more from the master controller. First, is this true. If I use one plane radio as a buddy box, should i take the crystal out to save power? And second, is it legal to remove crystals? I mean am I allowed to take them out and put them back in? Im guessing its ok, because its still tuned correctly, but maybe they dont want that grey area, so they make it illegal to ever remove a crystal. Thanks.
