Hi Shirley
Thank you for the brilliant explanation and information. It is very much appreciated - and gives me exactly what I need.
I dimly recalled there was a reason as to why a fundamental frequency crystal wasn't used in the Softrock, but not exactly why. As the saying goes, reading your explanation "made the scales fall from my eyes." ;-)
I shall go ahead and purchase a crystal. From memory, Mouser has a minimum order price, whereas Digi-key may not?
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks again!
