[Boatanchors] 2900 kc crystal needed

[Jack Antonio]

Before I break down and order one....


Anyone have an HC-6/U style crystal on
2900kc?

This is for a converter project I'm building,
and it is now working with a 2918 kc rock from the
junk box, but 2900 would make the dial line up nicely (3500
is 600 on the dial).

Why 2900 kc though?  The second harmonic, 5800,
puts the 40 meter band at 1200 to 1500, which fits
nicely with a BC-946, RAX, R-24/ARC-5 etc.

The 2918 kc rock is OK when using a car radio
(from a 52 Ford) as an IF, as the dial calibration on that
is a bit sloppy anyway.

Thanks
