Default Receiver Crystal Question

Hello, I am using old AM wide band equipment.
(my club let's me use it as long as I take the pins for the adjoining frequencies as well) Haven't had a problem yet!! Anyway I recently had my local hobby shop order in a new Rx crystal for me (chan. 54) and I explained to them that it was for an old AM receiver...etc.....etc. My original crystal is marked 72-5 and the new one is marked 72-11. Will this work in place of the old one?
Thanks, Steve B.


p.s. FG series radios RULE!!!!!

Default Receiver Crystal Question

A Futaba 72-5 crystal is an AM Transmitter crystal, and a 72-11 crystal is an AM Receiver crystal. They are NOT interchangeable.

Please be aware that wide-band R/C equipment is illegal to use. They were banned by the FCC in 1998.
