Radio crystals
I inherited an RST 6 channel radio, and was thinking about tinkering
with it. The problem is that it only has 2 frequencies in it, and they aren't ones I want. Does anyone here know of a source for aviation band transmit and receive crystals that I can use? Mike |

Radio crystals
Not to Jim specifically, but all in general.
This thread remineded me that I'm still looking for 2 RST 6-channel radios for my gliderport. 123.3 and 123.5 are the useful frequencies. Does anyone have any of these fine radios they are willing to part with for a reasonable (cheap) cost? :-) Thank you for your consideration. RST Engineering wrote: If we've got any in our "leftovers" parts bins, you can have them for nothing. However, if you want to go to the original source, Jan Crystal in Ft. Myers FL was where we got them OEM. As I recall from the last person who got crystals from them, they were about $20 for a set of two.

Radio crystals
Who said Jim was a mean old coot?
"RST Engineering" wrote in message .. . Jer/ I've got two of them that came in April 1987 for "fixing". I've made repeated attempts to contact the former owner with zero results. If you want them, they are yours (I suspect the statute of limitations has long since run its course). Some fellow over in Minden. THey both have four channels installed. .3 and .5 plus 122.8 plus one other I don't recall. The only caveat is that if Rip Van Winkle wakes up and wants his radios back in 2007, you two get to fight it out. The odds are slim to zero. I have no idea what is wrong with them, whether or not they've been internally "enhanced" by Diddle and his friends, or anything else about them. They have been ridden hard and put away wet -- they are pretty scratched up, some of the lamp lenses are missing, and that sort of thing. We still have most of the parts for these boat anchors, so when you get them, if you want to make a parts list, I'll pull what I've got and send it to you IF you send me a flattened box large enough to hold the parts, self addressed and stamped. One of those post office Priority Mail All You Can FIt In For One Price boxes would probably do the job. I will also loan you the world's last known copy of the instruction/assembly/overhaul manual for these two turkeys. If you will either copy it (or even better -- scan it) and send it back when you are done, I'll do that too. I'd appreciate the scanned files so that I can post them on the RST fixit page on the website. Feel free to destaple, scan, and restaple the original. If you feel the need to compensate somebody for whatever these old things are worth, send a donation to Young Eagles in RST's name. Whatever. Jim wrote in message ...
