Yes, I have to agree. I have been doing business since with ICM since the late sixties - never had any problems. One time, ICM didn't have the circuit diagram for a particular GE Mastr-Pro transmitter I needed a crystal for so, I fotocopied my manual diagram and parts list and sent i

I have had ICM do all of my crystals with no problem at all. 6-8 pairs for races, 3 for the local club and 2 pair for myself. but those were all Motorola elements and not GE. but to be on frequency from day 1 to the end .. PRICELESS bob On Wed, 01 Sep 2004 18:11:05 -0700 Bob Dengler <[EMAIL P

Ben, A MICOR channel element is much more than just a crystal; it is a "system," to use a fashionable noun. In order to maintain the very close frequency tolerances required of base stations and repeaters, Motorola started with a very high-quality crystal that met some exacting specifications, an

thanks Neil - and my mistake I am wanting to build one (or somethin similar to) for the 146MHz area. With that in mind of buying a used one - do they have an adjustable wide range? Or is it like the others that have the fundamental crytal with some components like a cap or inductor to fine adj

You didn't specify what frequency band you are thinking about. Re the 150 MHz band: Transmitter - all multiplication is external and after the modulator. Receiver - the output is three times the crystal frequency. Is usually much simpler to locate a used one - usually cheaper too.

Hey all, Is there a way a guy can build his own Micor channel element? What is the Fout of the element- is it a fundamental freq that is multiplied externally in the exciter or receiver? 73 de KB9LFZ, ~Ben __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo
