[Boatanchors] Xtals & ICM

[Revcom Electronics]

All...

Have to add my 2-cents worth.

Have been dealing with ICM since the late 60's.  They
are the standard for crystals as far as I am concerned.
Order a crystal or channel element, usually do not have
to trim or tweek at all, just plug it in.  On freq.

They are very professional and knowledgeable, and have
correlation for about anything that uses crystals.  We used them exclusively
for Broadcast work and microwave
elements in years past.

They, and all crystal companies, have gone through a
major change.  Every thing is VCO/PLL controlled, you
don't have a zillion crystals in radios anymore,  about
ALL channel elements in computers comes from over
seas.

They bought out Sentry Mfg,  a competitor in OK a
few years back.  May have combined other companies
too.

I pay $19.99/crystal from ICM for Plain Jane two way
radio work and gladly.  I know they work, are aged
properly and have NEVER had a defective unit in all
these years.  (Wrong ones yes, my error though)

I order in lots from -1- to -25-, makes no difference on
service, always on time.

They are available at 1-800-725-1426

Just to clear the air a little on my part.
