Not easily.

Horizon Hobby UK used to offer a conversion where the would cut the back out of the radio to fit a Spektrum module. No idea if they still do.

Bear in mind that there is nothing wrong with a crystal radio - I still run crystals in my Futaba gear, it works perfectly and you rarely have to change crystals these days as 95% of racers are on 2.4.

there was a guy called Pete i think who converted them for around £10 + the cost of a module. He mounted the ariel inside so it was really neat and avoided breakages.

Contact Alec Springer and he may be able to put you in touch with him as he knows the guy well.

Cheers guys. The reason I ask is that I am suffering interference even though no one else in the room is on the same frequency. I am trying a new xtal set this weekend and I have re-routed the rx aerial. If this dosent help a new tx aerial will be the next step, then I will look at 2.4ghz rework. I think the interference is to do with the location not another racer/member.

Your problem may be the installation of your electrics in the car.

Are any of the power leads from the speedo anywhere near your receiver?

Let us know what electrics and car you are running.

New tx crystal and an improved rx installation, results no radio interference. Thanks for the info guys
