On the Magnum version, you have to remove a black square sticker in order to change the crystal.
They just don't want you to do this in the US.
It goes against FCC regulations.
The only difference is Futaba doesn't warranty repair on Megatech versions.
Didn't think about that, over here they are sold as Megatech too, so I have no problems getting one from Mushroom. On the contary, I got a frequency that's legal here (27MHz), but isn't sold anywhere in this country. So nobody is ever on my frequency.

So what does that FCC want from you? To buy another transmitter module if you just need a spare frequency?
