Crystals, what channel?

[RCDad]

I'm looking at the crystals available and it's like; channel 1, 2, 3, etc. Which one or does it matter?

buy as many as you can of any number....or buy an FM set that will be able to use that new spektrum module......

27 MHz ar channels 1-6

75 Mhz is 61-90

AM -don't know

Here is a frequency chart from Futaba. It lists the channel number and frequency for each number. If you're getting crystals, make sure it's AM or FM. Also make sure you use the same frequency that your radio came on or at least something very close. Usually transmitters are tuned in factory to work best at the frequency they're shipped on.

So it doesn't matter what channel.

 

[jon2]

just frequency type and range

Just make sure the crystal is compatible with your radio and receiver. I tried putting a Futaba crystal in an airtronics when I first started racing, not knowing they're not interchangeable. Didn't do that again!

Did it burn up the crystal or something? RCBoyz had these crystals on sale so I bought two sets http://www.carttonic.com/catalog/in...roductinfo&uid=466&pi_id=122782&clist=0,12707

It didn't burn up the crystals, just wouldn't send the signal because of incompatability. I still use those crystals today in my backup radio.
