I have 112.30 kc crystal and I'm curious about what it was originally
used for and what sort of equiptment it was used in. It's in a metal
can, like a short version of a 6L6, with an octal base. It's marked
GENERAL ELECTRIC as well as with the frequency and several other
numbers.

I'm vaguely aware that this band is used for some sort of maratime
purpose, but I don't know exactly what.

I hooked it to an audio generator and a scope, and it's series
resonant at more or less the marked frequency.

You'd probably be more likely to get an answer in the amateur radio groups.
Also try the boatanchors group.

112.3 mhz is aviation navaids

Yeah, but he said it was kHz.

You're right, but this crystal's frequency is in the longwave band.
Something I don't know much about. I don't have a radio which goes below
150 kc and I live inland. I suppose it's almost all CW down there. Didn't
think much about it until I got this crystal

Thanks. I figured I'd try here first. There seems to be a very wide range
of general knowlege here, as opposed to one of the more specialized groups.
One of the maratime groups might be a good choice, also.
