I stand corrected.
I just confirmed this by calling Bomar. They do have a $60.00 minumum, but
that includes the shipping so 2 channel elements in most cases will meet the
minimum.

Interesting. When I sent a pair of GE ECs in
to Bomar recently, they quoted me $35 a piece. When I got the invoice,
they charged me $25 for one, and $35 for the other.

Caution on Boma
I've used several companies over the past 20+ years, and I've really
only ever found one that I consider garbage. Some people like Jan,
however. ;-
Bomar was the supplier to GE for several years. That's where they bought
all their crystals for the MPI (as well as several other models, I'm
sure).

I understand your frustration Mark. However each time I've done a phone
order from Bomar they have told me the total for the order while on the
phone. They started the $50 minimum order several years ago but I don't
see any mention of this on their web page. I've had a few problems with
we have ordered lots crystals from Bomar and they always work and with out
problems. Just need to understand the price. Good is not always cheep.

Very, very true. That is why I always use ICM. I have a 100% satisfaction
rating on every order I have ever placed with them. Recently, they even
offered us a great quantity discount on some Minitor II crystals for our
2-meter repeater freq. In qty of 50 or more $3

Repeaters can get to be costly. Being a good neighbor is very cheap
insurance. Poor crystals = being a possibly bad neighbor (causing
interference or being off frequency).

Probably because it's true.
There are things you can skimp on in a repeater and get lesser
performance, and there are things which if messed up cause
all sorts of problems, for both the repeater users and others.
A crystal is definitely one of the latter. Getting cheaper coax
means degraded
In my opinion, and I have participated in this for quite a number
of years, if you like visiting your snow bound repeater site in the
dead of winter because the transmitter crystal drifted off
frequency, fine. Go ahead and buy the cheaper crystal.
