[Boatanchors] WTB: Xtals (even mHz)

[Glen Zook]

You can get 4.000 MHz crystals in the HC49/U housing for 46 cents each in single quantities, for 41 cents each in quantity of 10, or more, and for 37 cents each for quantities of 100 or more from Mouser.

Part number 520-HCA400-20X for 20 pf load

Part number 520-HCA400-SX for series

These are clock crystals and can be easily adapted to the larger pins/spacing of the FT-243, HC6/U, etc. if necessary.

The reason the crystals are so cheap is that tens of thousands of these are made at a time.  I use various clock crystals in VHF/UHF converters, in other projects, etc., and they work very well.

I need the following crystals for the LO of a homebrew transmitter I'm currently building:

2 mHz, 4 mHz, 9 mHz 12.5 mHz, 13 mHz.? FT243 style pin spacing.

I know that I can order them from International Crystal.? But before I go to that expense, I thought I'd check with the list members first.? Cash or trade for some spare FT243 40 meter CW xtals I've got.
