Crystal Searching

 

Gang,

For those that haven't stocked up over the years on crystal
deals or renewing their stock like I am, here is a list
for you to go through at your time of choice.? If you
are interested, I'd recommend you do so rapidly as the
climate is a changing.? See the 4.032 and 10.000
vendor and what I got before things changed.

Presented here to save you time that I spent on
searching the web and I just got the tip of the
iceberg.? Share if you have better deals.

------------------------

?? o? about $0.64 per critter for 10 with free S&H
?? o? I've ordered here and was happy and you get
????? them quick.

<>
?? o? I got my 4.032 and 10.000MHz here when it was
????? free shipping!? But, the $50 S&H is ridiculous
????? now.? He did it after the trade wars started.

List of vendors I've ordered from and some are on
the boat as we speak.? I'll come back with reports
when I receive them, but I show them here as a
current status in case the vendor later decides to
change things for the worse.?? This list is for the
small gamblers among us.? I went out on the limb
on this one.? I'm not responsible for being the
village idiot.

<> 14.318MHz
<> 15 freq options
<> 10 freq options
<> a bunch!
<> options

And while I'm wasting your time, take a look at how much quartz
is being manufactured.? Quartz crystals are used in more places
than you think about.? Enjoy.? I know that I do for this one.
Things start at 3:00 or so on the factory floor.

Thanks for posting this info Chuck.
I want to build a 20M SST so I am thinking of going with your VXO/IF scheme of 10MHz/4.032MHz
What are the advantages of using HC-49S, HC-49U or HC-49UX crystal types?

Looking at the CTS crystal datasheet I see that for a 4.032 MHz crystal there are two different load capacitance types listed: series or 20pf, what does that mean?

How would series or 20pf type crystal types affect the frequency bending of a CTS 10.000 MHz crystal?

Please excuse my ignorance of this subject. I am having fun learning!

Alan, N8WQ
