Can anyone recommend a source for custom transmit crystals? I have found
several web sites (using google) for electronics companies that offer
pre-made
crystals, but they usually only have a few frequencies available. I have
one
already that I had made years ago for 7230khz, but need a different, lower
frequency now, and cant remember who made that crystal. It is stamped ICM
on
the side, but looking at their site, it doesnt seem they make special
orders
one off to the general consumer. I am trying to find something not too
expensive for a 40m QRP rig. Any help would be great.

I can't suggest a source for the crystals, but you might also try asking at
rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors and rec.radio.amateur.homebrew.
rec.antiques.radio+phono might be a good choice, too.

Try a search for the "crystal swapping board". Someone might have the
crystal you want for sale or trade.
