Re: brain freeze
Steve, there is nothing sacred about the crystal case being grounded. There is no real need to solder it to ground. It's there for mechanical stability, since the crystal isn't laying flat on the

Re: brain freeze
Should be a hole there...was on my board. It is a small hole though. Is there enough pad there to tack the ground wire to? You might remove the Xtal, bend a small L on the end of a scrap lead,

Re: brain freeze
Hi Steve, Mine has a smaller hole there. If yours doesn't have one, you should just solder the ground wire to the crystal lead that goes to ground. It's easy to tell which one that is by looking at

Re: Software Problem

Hi Chuck, XG1 works with just about any crystal you stuff into it. I occasionally use mine on 20 with a 14.060 crystal. The new XG2 uses exactly the same oscillator circuit for 80/40/20 coverage with
