[Milsurplus] Crystal Oscillators

[arc5 at ix.netcom.com]

Digi-Key will program the oscillators to your order. At the end of your order form, there's a place for comments. Enter the frequency you want in megahertz not megacycles or kilocycles. They only know megahertz. And they will come to you pre-programmed.------ Original message------From: k2cby at optonline.netDate: Tue, Apr 9, 2019 10:09 AMTo: milsurplus at mailman.qth.net;Cc: Subject:[Milsurplus] Crystal OscillatorsI 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?/Miles, K2CBY Miles B.
