I see that Surplus Sales of Nebraska has crystals in the $ 4 to $8
price range that should fit the bill.

Now I have a question (two actually), either for you or anybody
else in the forum:

1. I run two KMW-2A's at home (Cape Town) - These were
    not originally designed for operation below 3 MHz.

    How sucsessful do they operate on 160 metres?

    I am thinking Power output and Rx sensitivity.

2. I assume trying to tune my 30L-1 to 160 would be a no-no?
