I ordered 7 crystals from Bomar in December on the phone. When I received the order they had gotten a repeater pair reversed IE the pair was for a link radio on a repeater, what I actually got was the crystals for the repeater frequency, the Tx and Rx frequencies were reversed. When I called they said that I had made the mistake and that they would be glad to make the crystals that I needed for 10 bucks each. SAY WHAT? SO BOMAR is on my nasty list. Great customer no service!!
