[SignalOne] WARC crystals

[EDWARD SCHUMACHER]

I have installed crystals for WARC in my CX-7. I bought them from M H Electronics out in Cucamonga, CA. I could not find any info on the crystal specs, ie. cut, cap., etc. but I had a weak one that needed replacing and sent that in and MH was able to determine the type from it.
 
I also had a problem with the 10.1 MHz band which turned out to be a bad trimmer (yes, ceramic trimmers can go bad). Don't forget, the added crystals are socketed but all the rest are wire lead soldered and will require removing the frontend board to replace. Not too easy to find those sockets if you wanted to change over.
 
My CX-7 is still being worked on so if I check in to the net, it may be with my 40 year old homebrew HT-37. I have a problem with low output from the frontend board to the agc. otherwise the rest of the rig is working ok.
