Tim, It is the policy at International Crystal that you can send them a working channel element that is similar to the model you need, and they will crystal and compensate the exact element you need- if one is in their surplus stock. Call ICM first to see if they have the element in stock. I would not take the chance that a different part number element will work properly.

(they are the 'vhf' elements... the 1003 are the 'low band'). I've looked at the schematic to the 1005 here on RB versus what I see in the 1005, and with the exception of a resistor, and possibly the positioning of the temperature compensating capacitors, they appear the same. (they do have different frequency ranges). Has anyone used a 1005 in place of the 1003 by just changing the crystal frequency range? Just wonderin'. Thanks, Tim
