Hi,

I'm looking for complete sets (channels 61 through 90) of Futaba FM
crystals, to use in organized robotic (VEX) competitions. (We can't
leave it to chance that everyone has unique channels.)

I've seen bits and pieces on Ebay. I've looked on this forum and
others back to 1999, no results.

Where would you look for a bulk or wholesale supplier?

regards,
Mike

This store seems to have the complete range (the GWS parts are compatible
with Futaba).

Have you considered using frequency synthesized transmitters and receivers -
from Hitec, JR, Futaba; eg;

Thanks for the pointer; I can't believe I missed them.

I've considered synthesized, but the transmitters and receivers are
provided by the organization and owned by the competing schools.
Cannot modify them, and certainly can't substitute different TX/RX
boxes.

Regards,
