Hello All,

I am working on a set that may have a bad crystal.   This is small HC18  
or HC49 size crystal that is cut for 73.35 MHz.    I plan to test the 
crystal by connecting a signal generator to one side and watching the 
output on the scope and look for resonance. My question is; how much 
power can I run into the crystal without destroying it?
