Hello Cecil, That is a very valid point. though what you gain on one side you have to give up on the other side of the pass band. I believe it is also difficult to find those crystals in the same price range Looking in the Mouser catalog, I could not find any 36.0 MHz crystals either.
So Lets look a little more into this approach. The noise, if present is more of a problem than the LO signal All DC receivers will show the LO. 73 Rein --- In [email protected], KD5NWA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm being advised that, that crystal is too close to the desired > signals and I should move out about 11 to 12 KHz.
