You can use other receivers but you need to get Futaba or Futaba compatible receivers (like Hitec). Airtronics, JR and KO use a different signal shift on the 75MHz FM band and will not work with Futaba or Hitec.

It is best to get the crystal meant for the receiver.

Your radio won't care if it's a crystal or synth receiver as long as it's on the correct number.

See what companies make a receiver synthesized version that is compatible to the 3PM radio. The Novak XXX should work with it and is cheaper than the Futaba receiver but still expensive 69.99 vs 89.99 online.
