Replacing Crystals
 

I have the opportunity to get an extra receiver, it is on the wrong channel but I don’t see that as a major problem – Just replace the Crystal with the one that I need.

However; I am on channel 58 and the receiver is on channel 32, a local expert has told me that the Airtronics receivers can only have the Crystals replaced in certain bandwidths, ie low end or high end.. If you attempt to put a High end Crystal in a Low end receiver it will not work and vice versa…

Can anyone comment???

THe only company I know that has the low/high designation on recievers is Futaba. Putting a hi channel crystal in a low channel receiver (and visa versa) will only reduce your range. The receiver will still work.

As Geistware stated, ONLY Futaba specifies high/low range (11-35, 36-60). If you move more than 3 or 4 channels it is a good idea to send the receiver in and have it recalibrated. The receiver will work as is with the new crystal, BUT, your range MAY be reduced. I suggest putting the new crystal in and do a range check. Then go from there.

OK Guys;

That is what I was hoping for, I pretty well thought that the Airtronics systems was flexible enough to handle the change but it's always nice to have it confirmed.

Thanks
