That range is very close to what is needed, and may work OK.=0D

We know the last batch of BFO crystals have higher Q, and do not move as=0D
far. I tested over 200 of them last week and found that to be the case.=0D

The current recommendation is to add 47pF to C174, and 120pF to C173 on t=
he=0D
bottom of the PCB if the BFO range is too small. Tests I did for Wayne sh=
ows=0D
this usually solves the problem. As long as you can reach 4913.0 at the l=
ow=0D
end, and 4916.5 at the high end - you should be fine. Wayne posted some i=
nfo=0D
about this on the Elecraft reflector over the weekend.
