old futaba single conversion fm rx crystal replacement.

The answer appears to be Yes. I was able to use a 72-12 futaba "short" crystal in the old fm receiver that originally had a 72-7 . Unfortunately the crystal was $12, almost more than the receiver is worth, but better than the $24 for a TX/RX pair of crystals.

I Wrote: Question, I'd like to move this old single conversion FM futaba receiver to another channel, it has a 72-7 crystal in it. Futaba now only sells 72-7's in a TX/RX set where the tx part is nearly useless in the states. The 72-12's seem to be used in similiar rx's. Has anyone ever tried a 72-12 in a 72-7 application?

Or does anyone know if I would be able to use the tx crystal in another rx?

Thanks, Steve
