For special IF applications: Crystals for some special IF frequency applications 
are available. An IF Special Lite II receiver has a crystal whose center 
frequency is typically 10kHz to 15kHz above or below the target IF frequency. 
The Lite II can then be used to monitor the signals in the IF spectrum of the 
target receiver. This provides a way of quickly seeing what signals are 
available near to the frequency where the target receiver is tuned. If an 
additional IF center frequency option is chosen below, the crystal and any 
additional parts necessary for the Lite II to be built for the chosen frequency 
will be included in addition to the standard Lite II Combined Receiver kit. Band 
specific component values for IF frequencies may be found here.
