Big b00b question!!

[antnee]

Just getting back into racing, and bought a Sanwa Gemini 2 radio set which is 40mhz.

I need some more crystals for the set, will any make crystals work? Do I need FM's?

[stox217]

you need fm
All i know is that sanwa only work in sanwa gemini.
so your after sanwa crystals

[MatJohnson]

Int a crystal a crystal, its just to alter the transmition singal to be of the same frequency?

I might be wrong though, be interesting to know why they only work in each specific transmitter.

Not necessarily; some work in others, whilst some can be picky. Safest bet is to get some Sanwa crystals.

[stox217]

27AM mhz is not fussy as to crystal wise
nor is 40am

but fm is diffrent
as i think it has a closer frequency?? hence some only work with the same brand crystals.
sanwa = sanwa
ko = ko
futaba = futaba

I have not heard of any mixing that worked with out interference ect.

futaba will work in ko, but as said stick to the manufacture
