Peter et al:

	Haven't done anything yet but the idea of CB crystals was an excellent
one.  Found a source (Ken's Electronics) who has CH 13 (27.115 NHz)
transmit crystals for $6.00 plus shipping.  Ought to work out OK
although a bit above the band most of the guys are using.  I'll give
them a try when I get the ambition.

Thanks,

Ed
