Hi Don, I think I may have found the problem. When I installed X1 I attached a ground to the top of the crystal. I used the same technique when I installed X2 through 5. After rereading the installation portion of the manual I read that the ground should be attached no more than 3/16" from the bottom of the crystal. Do you think this is the problem?
