[TenTec] WTB: 12M and 17M xtals for Omni C - HELP !!

Hi, Karl and Alan,

International makes excellent but very expensive crystals.  They are
absolutely first quality.  I cannot say the same for Jan.  I've had poor
experiences, and I know a lot of hams who had.  My first two meter rig was
a Drake TR-22C, and I got some lovely off-frequency crystals from Jan which
they exchanged for me.  Their quality control leaves a lot to be desired.

Another good choice, also in Ft. Myers, Florida, is Crystek.  They do not
advertise in the ham mags and they too are more expensive than Jan, but the
quality is there.

Best 73,
