"I just got some Bomar crystals (Not my choice) for the clubs UHF Micor"
I just got some crystals from Bomar, my first crystal order in about 40 years. Some were basic crystals for an Alert Monitor receiver and some were in channel elements supplied and compensated by Bomar. Every crystal/element that I received was "right on the money" and one of the elements didn't even require a slight "touch up" to hit it's mark (my frequency reference is a bit more accurate than the average service monitor, too). AND,some of this equipment operates in the temperature extremes that have been prevalent in the midwest in recent weeks. My suggestion would be to avoid implicating a manufacturer for an individual case of error as there are far too many variables involved to pin the results on any one cause. I have no business involvement with Bomar, just a satisfied customer. My only gripe is their minimum order requirement which means that I have to wait to order until I can meet the requirement.
