make sure that if the reciever PCM that the radio is transmitting in PCM. Or vise versa if it's a FM receiver.

What crystal are you using? If it's from your old RX it could have been damaged in the crash, or maybe just incompatible with the new RX. If it's a new crystal, it might still be incompatible .

Is the receiver compatible for the Futaba transmitter? I see your location is Sydney, That is Austrailia I would think.
As others have mentioned, are you trying to use a Dual conversion crystal in a single conversion receiver?
What band are you using? 36 mhz or 40mzh or ???

you might be onto something with the damaged crystel...40mhz 40.790 type40-1, no model on the reciever, just says compatable with MOST futaba tx. Also the dual conversion thing has me scratching my head.
Sposed to be only using 36mhz over here, is there any way to change the radio to 36mhz? then I can use off the shelf crystals from my local shop.
