Ok, Ok...I guess no one has a 3 5 4 6 +/- 1 KC crystal they wish to swap, so
maybe there is someone out there with ANY FT-243 or Z-9 crystal that falls
in the lower 100 KC of 80 or 40 meters they'd like to trade for a brand new
3946 kc crystal? My preferences are 3542 to 3560 or 7030 to 7055 kc . The
3946 crystal is brand, spankin' new and in a Z-9 case with 0.092 pins so
it'll work anywhere an FT-243 does. It's a Petersen Radio crystal. Tanks!

Hi Smokey,

What do you suppose the odds are that someone who is running rock bound on
80m, is going to need the exact rock you have, and have the exact rock you
need? Especially given that yours is in the middle of the phone section?

I checked through my FT243's, and unfortunately, they have been thoroughly
picked over for 80 an 40m rocks.

Give JAN a call. I am sure that they still have gobs of FT243's in their
scrap bin. It couldn't possibly cost more than $25 to get one custom
ground to meet your needs.

Call ICM and order one for fifteen bucks or so. It's not that big a deal
to get crystals made.

The alternative is that you can skew the crystal you have to a higher
frequency... it's harder to move it lower than to move it higher, though.
But grinding it down with Ajax cleanser is not that hard a thing to do,
especially today when you can just stick it in a little Pierce oscillator
with a frequency counter and see where it's moved to in a second.

Jeez...I can get crystals; why are you guys so defensive?. I'm simply
looking for someone whose got one to swap that is interested in one I don't
need.

By the way...if you are paying $15 to $25 for crystals you are not shopping
very wisely.

I'll worry about my crystal issues/ I don't need lectures.
