crx module compatiblity ?
 

Does anybody know is there a module that compatible with the hitec crx radio? I want to control my mini-z using the crx, but hitec doesn't have a FM to AM conversion module like others radio (airtronic/sanwa, futaba and KO). Mini-Z is running on 27MHz AM freq. Any advise? Thank you.

The Futaba AM module will fit in the CRX, but I'm not sure it will work.

As many of the Futaba guys run our Synth. 75MHz module.

I too had the same question.....a hobbyshop owner posted in a mini z forum that the futaba am module works.....he stated to use a quality crystal.

my son has a hitec crx....I have a helios tx w the mini z module.....
my plan was to get a module for him. My helios tx took a crapper and i was stuck without a tx....so i bought the futaba 2pl....it was $65. The Futaba am module is about $40. Now I have rethought my idea of having just one tx......In my travels if I find the am module cheap i will get one otherwise the 2pl works awesome......

Hi..thank you for the input. Bermbuster...what do you mean by using a quality crystal? For AM, do we need to match the x'tal brand reffering to the Radio/TX brand ? i.e if we used futaba radio than the X'tal should used the same brand also ?

AM 27Mhz is universal, there is no POSITIVE / NEGATIVE issues like on 75MHz.

You should be able to use any brand X'tal.
However, I would stay with the Hitec x'tals due to the quality of some of the 3rd party ones as Bermbuster stated.

Hi again. I have already try using the CRX with the Futaba AM module and it works :nod:
