[Milsurplus] Radiomarine R1 Xtal

[Rian Robison]

Hi Ralph,

The FT-171 xtal holder has 3/4" spacing where as the R-1, R-2 and the TBS xtal holders are 7/8" spacing.  The xtal inside should be interchangable but the holder sure isn't.  There is also a larger brown holder (near the size of a FT-171 without the top piece) that I can't find a number on that are also 7/8" spacing.  You need to find a FT-171, the smaller brown holder (type number?) for the BC-669 or an old ham 3/4" holder.

Good luck with your search.

73,
