I've heard you canswap the transmitter and receiver crystals in a 27mhz radio and it will act as a new frequency. Is this true?</p>

Welcome Pilgrim, I think they may have misunderstood your question.

I understood it like this "switch the RX crystal with the TX crystal" Yes, switching (swapping) them will yeild a "different channel" I'm not sure it is legal, or what the new freq is or if it is far enough away from the originals to be safe. I would think it falls somewhere in between the original 6adjacent freqs.

I'd like to know :for example if we did it to channel 3 would the new freq be right next to channel 3 and 4? 3 and 2? maybe it doesn't change freq at all? I'm not sure how it works, but I am sure that it does work.
