Hi Mike,

You may wish to consider a different IF for which rocks are more readily available (as I was typing this, I saw Steve J's reply pointing out yet another reason for considering a different IF). For instance, there are tons of chroma subcarrier crystals for NTSC and PAL. I see these going for $0.20 in quantities of 10 from Digikey, making it easy to buy a bag from which to find a good set of matched ones. A higher IF would also give you improved image rejection as an additional benefit. Would that be an option at all for you?

Hi all
This is for a crystal filter. The RX designs I’m looking at are th HBR Rx or the 6-4 from the 1964 hand book
If the xtal isn’t exactly 1700, a few KC either side would require some VFO trickery. 
Thx
Mike
