Krystaly Rocks for MSR2000

Eric Grabowski #184327 Does anyone have experience with having Krystaly make crystals for KXN1086B and KXN1088A channel elements? The reply I received from them asked for additional information like whether the crystals are intended for serial or parallel resonance and other specific parameters. This raised a red flag in my mind as to whether I want to give them a try even if their price might be lower than Quartslab. I received a quote from Quartslab for $67.61 per crystal, which I thought was a bit high, however they did know the crystal specs. 73 and aloha, Eric KH6CQ

Ron Wright All Messages By This Member #184339 Sounds like a Krystaly is crystal manufacture not familar with making crystals for radios, like ones for other applications like filters.? They are asking for the details of the crystal cut.? 2-wy radio crystal manufs know what to make from model of the radio.?? And at $67 is high price. Try Bomar in NJ, 800-526-3935.? The now charge $50/xtal.? All you tell them is you need xtal fo MSR2000 or channel element numbers, the actual freq, 147.39, 442.65 rcv or xmt, and give them ship to address and credit card.? Bomar no longer temp comp ch elements, just make the crystal to spec of Motorola.? Bomar does make an excellent 2-way radio xtal. 73, ron, n9ee/r

Krystaly is less than half that price. Try Bomar in NJ, 800-526-3935. The now charge $50/xtal. Bomar crystals are junk: have had several of their crystals fail over the past 3 years. in 40+ years I've never seen such incompetence from a crystal manufacturer. Bob NO6B

They sure as hell can't make a crystal for a FM channel element - GE or Motorola.? Their "Engineer" David Miskov is a joke. Scott and I have spent thousands of dollars with Bomar years ago before the people that really knew how to build them retired.? All of their stuff in the last 5 years is junk - period. Kevin
Eric Grabowski #184343 I have to agree with Bob and Kevin. My past experience with Bomar has been awful. With respect to Quartslab, maybe crystals for GE are less expensive than for Motorola. The quote I received for the Motorola elements was almost twice what Skipp paid for his GE elements. That or else business is booming and the price is rising in response to increased demand. 73 and aloha, Eric KH6CQ On Thursday, February 18, 2021, 9:05:56 AM HST, Kevin Custer <kuggie@...> wrote: On 2/18/2021 1:46 PM, Bob Dengler wrote: > > Bomar crystals are junk: Yea buddy.?

Maybe they went up another 20% since then? Bob NO6B

Ron Wright All Messages By This Member #184373 I have used many many Bomar crystals over the years and they worked very well, not seen a failure.? Did get one for 6m not on freq, claimed did not calculate base freq out to needed decimal and they replaced quickly, that was years ago.? I've purchased over 100 crystals from Bomar. 73, ron, n9ee/r
Chuck Kelsey All Messages By This Member #184374 开云体育 The last two Bomar crystals I got had problems. I never went back. I can't recall exactly when this was, but it was shortly before International went out. International was my last crystal purchase, maybe a few months before they closed.
