[R-390] 17 MHz Crystal

[Roger Ruszkowski]

Bob,

I want to agree with you.

I think it is mostly a shock in transport that causes these
crystals to crack and thus fail.

Having done some of this testing, I know
moving things down the road subjects our
toys to a lot more force than we imagine.

How the human body survives a ride
in an auto every day boarders on 
miraculous.

Hi

I've seen at least four of these "events". All of them were in radios that were 
new to me. My guess has always been transport issues (by the other guy of course 
!!!).
