Crystals

[N8ETQ]

    Yo' Yous,

    Got a cust with a deaf IC-751A. (Go figure).
Turned out to be a bad crystal for the PBT thingy.
I pop'ed in 9.4665mc from a urm 25 and it's cool.

   Since I'm busier than  a 1 legged guy in an Arse
kickin contest, I asked him to procure his own Rock.

  He went through the Mill.. (Rejection) from everyone.
How ever the good folks at ICM were kind enough to
entertain the concept of a customer.. I got an email
from them! Really?  The "Guy" saw a "C" by the Xtal
which was really a Varator Diode with a Ct of 29 pf.
I responded with the specs on the diode and "Get This"
his secretary emailed me back!

    Man, Go figure, Who ya gonna call?   

    It isn't here yet, and I have no involvement in the
"Transaction" but just thought I could pass along some
"Real World" current info.

International, Jan, and Crystek are all good places to deal with in my experience.
