Sorry another newbie question, if you plugged the transmit pin on the prop chip running fm transmitter program into a crystal oscillator say at 1ghz and then to an antenna would it broadcast the signal at 1ghz?

    No. The crystal needs to be part of a circuit that causes it to oscillate. Putting an FM signal at 88 - 108MHz into it will not make it oscillate at 1GHz.
