Why yes, John, I believe there is.

Doesn't the MSR-2000 use the crystal element that has an internal "range" adjustment? Seems to me that when we converted one about four years ago, it wouldn't warp high (maybe it was low) enough. We opened the thing up and found a trimmer in there, moved it slightly and put it back together. We were then able to get it on frequency with the external adjustment. I might have been a tuning slug...I've slept too many times since then so I don't remember. However, I do remember opening the element and tweaking it. de WD7F John in Tucson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robin Midgett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 10:02 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] ICM Crystals Off Frequency? Either I'm missing something or ICM sent me defective crystals. I ordered two pairs of crystals to put a MSR-2000 repeater on 147.105 Tx / 147.705 Rx. I've tried both Tx crystals in the KXN1095A channel element only to find the frequency to end up ~36kHz. high. The crystal itself is putting out energy at 12.26180 MHz.; it should be 12.25875 MHz. The bag label indicates them to be cut for 12.25875, but they don't oscillate at (barely even near) that frequency. Should I have to pad the new crystals with a cap to net them on frequency? If so, what value? Thanks, Robin Midgett K4IDC VHF+ Glutton EM66se Yahoo! Groups Links -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
