In my opinion, and I have participated in this for quite a number
of years, if you like visiting your snow bound repeater site in the
dead of winter because the transmitter crystal drifted off
frequency, fine. Go ahead and buy the cheaper crystal.
If you don't like visiting your snowed in repeater site, buy the
best crystal.
