[Milsurplus] Crystal Oscillators

[k2cby at optonline.net]

I realize that custom-made traditional quartz crystals are unobtanium at any
reasonable cost.

My eye was attracted to the wide variety of solid state programmable
oscillators that were available for less than five bucks a pop.

They seem to have stability comparable to old fashioned quartz and cover a
range from something like 10 kHz to better than 50 MHz.

The only problem is that they have to be programmed, and the programming
hardware costs somewhere around $250 - not practical to program a couple of
oscillators to serve as USB and LSB BFOs.

Does anybody know of a vendor who will pre-program these little bugs at the
time of purchase or a programming service where I can send one to be
programmed for a few bucks?
