I just found out that the club I'm joining does not allow channel 20 at their field... Just my luck, I bought and installed a channel 20 JR Quattro...What can I do? Change Crystals?

That's probably the best alternative. You can chenge the reciever crystal yourself, but you need to send the TX in to JR and have them change the crystal in it.

Each field is diiferent with respect to RF interference. Most likely they don't allow channel 20 because it's problematic. You'll be better off changing crystals.

If you explain the circumstances in a brief and polite letter, I doubt that JR will charge you for more than the shipping costs.

Where did you buy the radio from. Try calling them up and explain your situation. As long as you haven't flown the radio in a plane yet you may be able to exchange it for another frequency. It's definately worth a shot since all they can say is no. If you got it from tower I would guess that they would be more than happy to take care of it for you.

Give it a try. can't hurt
