[Elecraft] Need Help with XG1

[Don Wilhelm]

Pete,

Have you measured the emitter resistor (R2)?  I would suspect that more 
than the crystal.
Since you do suspect the crystal, do you have any other crystal that you 
can substitute for it - it can be any fundamental crystal somewhere 
between 3.5 MHz and 15 MHz as long as you have a receiver that can hear 
it to evaluate the result.

73,
