Les Smith died several years ago and the Company is no longer in business. Les started making crystals at CTS in Streetsville Ontario and about 35 years ago he started his own company. I have lot's of his crystals here.

They morphed a couple times and changed names, but I think they're out of the crystal biz now. Anyone have an update? 73, Paul, AE4KR ----- Original Message ----- From: DCFluX To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2010 2:20 AM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] "Bend" an ICOM a little further I just got some Bomar crystals (Not my choice) for the clubs UHF Micor. The TX was off 14 to 39 kHz, Had to add a 10pF cap to get the trimmer in the center range. Strangely the RX was fine.
