Single conversion receivers.
 

So i bought a 75mhz receiver and like a dummy didnt read all of the details. It turns out to bea single conversion receiver.... Can anyone explain how these work? Do you need special x-tals? Is it an advantage to owning one of these?

Here is the receiver if anyone is wondering..

Prob more than you'd ever want to know -

single conversion is either negative shift or positive shift, you need to match that to your transmitter.

- if it is a negative shift tx it has to be a negative shift rx, or dual conversion rx

- if it is a positive shift tx it has to be a positive shift rx, or dual conversion rx

- a dual conversion tx will work with negative shift, positive shift, or dual conversion rx's

basically if either tx or rx is single it has to be matched with the same single or a dual

The crystals are the same.

does that make any sense? what transmitter do you have?

I have this transmitter. And I'm still not quite getting it. Do you need a special tx to use single conversion receivers?
