If you get your hands on transmitter thats frequency is 49MHZ grab it! The frequency crystal inside the transmitter are quite easy to change out, in these lower end transmitters they are more then likely soldered in. On your upper end ones they are a plug in system so you can change frequencies if needed. Open up the transmitter's case and you will find a little silver chinggy or plastic chinggy (This is the frequency crystal) and it will have a tag on it that tells you the frequency, be it 27MHZ or 49MHZ or?
The crystal can be soldered to a circuit board or in a mount with lead wires running to it in the case or you might get lucky and have a plug in crystal. I can't tell you what you have, because I've never had one in my hands (a transmitter from New Bright) BUT..... I do know that it's a easy fix!

Much as I hate to disagree with you on this, I have opened up my controller and there is no crystal in it. The circuit board is labeled for 27M and 49M and there are component markings on the board without components present which leads me to believe that the same board can be used for both frequencies but that the components used are slightly different. This is what I would suspect to find with this separation in frequencies based on my background in communications. Therefore my suggestion would be that
Club442 should only be looking for the proper frequency controller.
On my truck the frequency is marked on the bottom of the front spoilker and on the back of the controller. (49 MHz)

... you may have an integrated board.... without an inter changable crystal. the hi end systems have removable/changeable crystals. each channel is color coded. there are more than just 27 & 49 mhz.
