Even MORE notes on crystal grinding, from Surplus Al!
Please mention: 'I SAW IT ON THE CRYSTAL SWAPPING BULLETIN BOARD!' when responding to ads!
Suggestions for obtaining newly made FT-243 crystals from other
sources
are earnestly solicited!
My reasons:
Using a hunk of quartz mechanically ground down to size & one
active device,
crystal control is similar to QRP - providing
a challenge and satisfaction
the full featured modern rigs
never give.
"A man without an address is like a man without a country. Even
his best
friends never know where to find him! He misses
all the beautiful worthwhile
things in life. Your radio
"address" is the frequency on which you operate.
Although
you may share it with others your "spot" in the band becomes
a
treasured and personal thing... the key to your amateur
enjoyment.
PR Precision CRYSTALS give you the finest most
stable frequency control the
art has developed. With a PR
CRYSTAL in your rig you KNOW where you are...
you know you
will STAY THERE!"
Today I have several medium power transmitters with many
crystals and a VFO
I use rarely. It's my hope 'THE CRYSTALS PAGE'
will help those of us who use crystals.
