WWII era crystals.
Crystal Clear? No, crystal confusion.
A friend of mine has two crystals that look very similar to each other.
They are, I think, FT-241 style, that is, they have a wider pin spacing
than the FT-243 as used in the BC-611. (Just to verify all common holder
types, later crystals were in HC-6 holders for PRC-6, HC-25 for PRC-6/6)
N'est pas?
In any event, one crystal has the following marking,
Channel 386
38.6 MHz
The other as follows,
Channel 36
23.6 MHz
The questions are....
1.- The BC-604/684 transmitters used crystals like this I think. If so,
what is the Multiplication factor?
2.- The BC-603/683 Rx were tunable, no crystals?
3.- What crystals and markings and multiplication factors were used with
the BC-620/659/1335?
4.- What were the likely radios that his two crystal would be for?
Thank you.
