Transmitter crystals?

[David MeierParticipant @davidmeier28154]

Hi I am looking for a 2nd hand transmitter on a New Zealand ‘Trade Me’ site for use on a model boat and I have noticed a few 4 and 6 chanel transmitters from e-sky helicopters at a resonable price. They are 35Mhz can I simply put a 27Mhz crystal in them and use them for my model boat?

Hi David,

I take it you live in NZ?. Not sure what the Law is over there.

You cannot put 27mhz Xtals in a 35Mhz Tx,with all the 2.4Gig sets coming down in price that may be the cheapest way to go.

If you just have 1 Boat using 2 Channels then you could buy an Acoms Tx or similar for £9.00, and a Rx for around £12.00 plus the price of a pair of Xtals £8.00.

Hope this is of some help.

Regards,

Len

Thanks len.

That is the information that I Needed. I will look out for a two channel 40 Mhz set.
