[Boatanchors] 17 M xtal for KWM-1

[AI2Q]

Yes, that's right, Bill. My rock, pressed into service, only gives me a 
small part of the SSB segment. I should order the proper xtal, but the KWM-1 
sits on 2Ø meters most of the time, where it is a hoot to operate. If I had 
the correct xtal I could cover the whole 17M band.

If I remember correctly, the 7ØK-2 PTO in the KWM-2 and KWM-2A spans 2.7 to 
2.5 MHz, giving those rigs 2ØØ-kHz coverage per heterodyne xtal.
