That's probably not indicitive of Bomar making a bad rock; you almost always
have to change out the cap behind the trimmer to center the tuning range if
the original frequency was significantly different than the new. Maybe you
just got lucky on the RX element, but 9 times out of 10, I've had to change
caps in Micor elements to get them to net, regardless of whether the crystal
came from Bomar, ICM, or West Crystal.
