[50mhz] FS: Gonset Communicator III - 6 Meter AM unit

Fri, 21 Feb 2003 09:25:29 -0500

Some of you may remember that it is easy to raise the frequency of
crystals like these.  You remove the crystal wafer from its case.  Then
you can grind it thinner. This is done by sprinkling a little scouring
powder on a flat piece of plate glass, adding some water, and then
gently sliding the crystal wafer in a circular motion over the mixture.
I used this method to "QSY" up the band when I was a rockbound novice
(KN8LOT) back in 1958.  Works only in one direction, though.  FWIW.  73

Of course, use of the xtals below will get you in hot water with
other users, and the 50.004 would bring you a pink ticket unless you
do CW with the mic :)=

Robert, I would highly suggest not including the 50.85 and higher xtals
as the 50.85 is in the middle of the RC segment..NOT a safe place to
xmit...and anything about 51 MHz is FM land.....just my $.02
