Does anyone have an 18.895 MHz crystal in HC6/U
gathering dust and wish to sell or swap?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Ray-

I'm guessing that frequency could be used to convert one of the bands on
a Heathkit SB or HW 100 series transceiver to 10 MHz.

If you're willing to accept a dial error, a crystal might work if it is
as much as 350 KHz lower in frequency. I think that would move the
tuning range from 10.0 to 10.5 MHz down to 9.65 to 10.15 MHz. Or a
crystal up to 100 KHz higher would move the range to 10.10 to 10.60 MHz.

Otherwise you will need to order a custom crystal. The major crystal
companies should have data on the Heath heterodyne crystals if you
explain what you want to do.

Many thanks Fred, as you so rightly deduced,
I want to use the crystal to convert the 10.100-10.150Mhz
band down to within the 500Khz tunable range of 8.835-8.395Mhz,
It will be used in a bank of other ex-Heathkit crystals in a multiband
converter running into a homebrew receiver.
I will see what some crystal manufacturers have to offer.
