What's magic about a crystal as compared to an osc? Is it really easier to get an odd-ball frequency in a crystal vs an osc? The last time I bought a special frequency osc was over 10 years ago. Once I found the right company, things were simple. I don't remember the price. At the time, it seemed reasonable, but that was for a commercial project rather than a basement lab. Do those companies still exist or have they all fallen through the cracks of higher volumes and lower prices. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam.
