The R-4C's 3rd Mixer LO crystal for SSB/CW is 5644.999 kHz. Why didn't Drake just specify 5645.0 kHz? The tolerance of the crystal is well beyond 1 Hz and is likely +/- several hundred Hz. Perhaps a large quantity price break for crystals ground below 5645 kHz?

Any Ideas?

Subject: [Drakelist] R-4C Crystals (3rd Mixer LO)


In the process of drilling holes in the chassis of an R-4C to install a GUF-1 1st I.F. filter, I managed to let the drill chuck come in contact with the 3rd Mixer LO crystals. I have confirmed that both crystals have shattered as a result of the extreme vibration. Soooo...anyone have a crystal pair from a parts unit? Specifically, they are:

5595.000 kHz
5644.999 kHz.

These are the two crystals mounted on the mode select switch PC board (under the mode switch cover). Many Tnx!
