I can get within 3KC and the frequency spread is at least 10 or 20 KC but all down frequency. I had told them to check their capacitance factor as the crystal formula for the cut is correct. I am going to contact IC or Bomar on Monday and see about sending an element to them to install a

Shows how things change! Used to be a good crystal company years ago but I have seen enough comments to never buy from them again! In fact I had oredered the crystals and the next day saw someone write about never use JAN. Should of canceled then! Come Monday I will probably place an order to

Are you buying the crystal and soldering it in yourself? I have done many that way and about 15% of the time you have to change the capvaluein parallel with the trimmer to get it to net. This is true no matter where I get them from. The only sure bet is to send the element in. Chris N9LLO

I would contact them, and let them know what frequency it ended up at, and take it from there. Pulling a crystal off it's resonant point is not a very good idea. Yahoo! Groups Links * To visit your group on the web, go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Repeater-Builder/ * To

Is that like the question: what is more accurate...a clock that is stopped or one minute fast? Way back when, I had an SCR-522 2 meter transmitter that had a bit too much crystal drive. So much in fact, that the crystal would heat up excessively. Of course it would be drifting to beat the

To all that suggested I check the caps I did and elected to remove one of the Caps in line with one of the 2 thermistors. This allowed the crystal to immediatly swing up and onto Frequency.So as a temporary fix that is how it will stay until new crystal can be shipped in with its own element

How close can you worp the crystal to the proper frequency? How much can you worp the crystal from minimum to maximum adjustment of the adjust ment cap? AC0Y --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Ronnie Steve Rice [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hmmm Seems I am batting 1000 on crystals for
