Re: [amsat-bb] Drake Crystal

["Larry P. Thomas wa0gwa" <lpthomas@xxxxxxxxx>]

FYI, concerning crystals from ICM, when I ordered two for a couple for 
the  2880 a year or so ago I was told to order part number 433292 which was 
a 8.8125 in a holder just over 0.340 inches tall. Numbers on the case are:

8.812500
433292
032700
ICM

This done as their job number 37785-1-1

Hope this does not add to the confusion!

Later
Larry
