Other crystal frequencies can be uged to cover different 2-megacycie aegments between 48 and §4 megacycies. The following chart Lste some of the eryatal frequencies that can be used. In each cage, the output fraquency of the Converter iw between 28 and 206 me, which Lorreanands to 10 meter reception with the 8B-200 Receiver. CRYSTAL CHART (Frequoncies in megacycles} CONVERTER CRYSTAL COVERAGE Se as When purchasing a trystal for use wath thig Converter, you should specify the frequency and the following crvetal charac— teristicu., Crystals that do not have these characteristics will not provide optimum performance.
