i have a dual conversion low band reciever fp-127df on channel 18 can i use a high band reciever with this channel.
I say no . my buddy says yes because it's dual conversion.

i used to say no also but my raido guy say maybe and the way to check is put you channel in and do a range check if everything work fine at 75 feet then it will work / my radio man says they are tunning them closer to mid range now

Futaba uses "high or low band" for their receivers. Why? I'm not sure, but I wouldn't risk my plane just to find out. I'd suggest sticking with the appropriate channels.

I may be paranoid, and I don't know where you fly, but if you put that crystal in a high band RX, range check fine and then fly, you are risking losing your plane and possibly hurting someone when your plane decides to come down.

Thanks guys that is exactly what I thought

I recently sent an email directly to Futaba with that exact question. Their response was that their receivers are "center" tuned. Which means that when you buy a low band receiver, it's tuned in the "center" of the available channels. So the best channel on the low side is either 22 or 23 and the high side would be 47 or 48. The further away from these you get, the more it affects range. Although for our purposes this is negligible.
