its dsm2 it works with dx5es dx6is and all horizon hobby txs, exept the old dx6s

It all depends on whether the handset is DSM or DSM2. As Alex says it's quite old, I have a feeling it might just be DSM, in which case all those nice cheap receivers on eBay won't work with them.
Any more info on your handset Alex?

when you say it's a 3 channel set do you mean it's one of the ones with the steering wheel? If it is then you'll need one of the surface receivers such as the sr300. If by chance it's a dx3.0 then they will work fine with it.

You can pick them up quite easily (ebay is about Â£30) as they seem to still make the ground dsm stuff not like the AR6000 or BR6000.
