The 8381 is the small fat reed used in the Motrac, Motran and Micor PL decoders. The 6209 is one of the small thin reeds, and is factory spec'd as the decode reed in Mitreks that use reeds (there were two tone boards for the Mitrek, only one used reeds). The fat reeds were about 30% thicker than the thin reeds, and it makes a difference: if your decoder expects a fat reed and you plug in a thin reed you get less coupling and it can cost you some decode sensitivity. There are some thin reeds that will work in place of an 8381 but not all. It depends on the decoder and the reed. For a photo go look at eBay item 5840180977 <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5840180977> First of all the guy thinks they are crystals, second of all the photos are out of focus, but they do show the three basic sizes - the smallest are Permacode filters (for handhelds - think "solid state reed"), the middle size is a small reed, and the large reed is the 8381 fat reed. For the purposes of this discussion forget the Permacode. So are you looking for a fat reed or a thin reed? BTW, what radio is this for? >Any help would be greatly appreciated. > >Thanks! > >Adam N2ACF Mike WA6ILQ Yahoo!
