Mike,

While the RF Probe will not solve the problem, it will detect whether the crystal is the problem or not. At the time of the initial suggestions, he did not have access to another receiver, and under those conditions, the use of an RF Probe is the easiest way to make some determinations about the source of the problem.

You are correct, if another receiver that can tune to 22 MHz is available, that is the quickest way to check whether the crystal oscillator is operating.

That's exactly what I was thinking, and was wondering why in the scores
of earlier replies there had been no suggestion of this.  The RF probe
won't solve this very likely cause!
