It should have a label saying what frequency it is on the side or top of the RX.

Antenna wire color can sometimes be an indication- (purple being Futaba 20mhz for Au/Eu) but the 75mhz US based was white and 40mhz was green, but that was Futaba on one specific model reciever.
KO stuff has been hard to find research info for me so far, try emailing them and ask what bands they made it in and narrow it down?

quickest way to find out what it is would be to just hook it up. you're not gonna hurt it.

i have atleast 10 of them and they're all AM 27 band. but i'm i'm pretty sure you could get them in 75 band as well.

Thanks scr8p,

you gave me a hint, did a search for images on the rx and it works out the 75mhz band has a white antenna and the 27mhz has black.
