That's fine for K2 builders, but it wasn't much help with a K1 since they don't tune that high on 20 and 15 with the optional 80 kc band spread. I stuck a 14.060 mc crystal I had left over from converting a Rock-Mite 20 to 15m and it worked fine, though I didn't measure the output to see how much it deviated from the 50 uV 40m output. It's bound to be different.
I used a trick I first learned from Chuck, W5USJ, of using two Augat machined socket pins taken from an IC socket. Pull out the crystal, solder two of these pins in and plug in the crystal. Now you can stick anything you have into it. I got the pins from a new CPU socket for some early Pentium chip that I bought at a surplus store for 50 cents. With a firm grip on the bottom of a pin with needlenose pliers, you can just push the pins out the top very easily. It's going to be tougher if the socket is used...you might have to crush the base with side cutters...so try to get a new one. I just remove what I am going to use at the time. The socket base makes a safe storage place for the tiny pins between projects. They are great any place you want to experiment with part values and don't want to keep solder-stressing the board which is what Chuck originally used them for.

Hi Joe, The XG1 has quite strong output on its harmonics, 14.080, 21.120 and 28.160MHz. Information is on page 3 of the manual. The second harmonic on 14.080 is approximately 7dB down on the fundamental. 73 Tony Fegan VE3QF -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Daring Sent: March 27, 2005 2:17 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] XG1... other frequencies possible? Hello' Elecraft community... I have just received my XG1 Kit... I'm wondering if I have any chance to use a different XTAL to make it work somewhere on 14.XXX MHz... What should I do for this? Any hint *VERY* appreciated! Happy Easter everybody!!! /3 de Joe, IW7ECJ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
