Radio Shack can supply crystals for scanners other than
their own brand. Yesterday, I got a look at a chart in a
local Radio Shack that listed:
o+ frequencies of crystals that may be ordered
o+ scanners that work with Radio Shack's conventional
crystals
o+ scanners that won't work with conventional Radio Shack
crystals, but for which special crystals may be ordered
Crystals for Bearcat scanners1 may be ordered from your
local Radio Shack.
I referred a friend with a Courier Cop-Scan to the Shack.
His special crystal order took all of 1 week to be filled.
Crystals for other uses2 may also be ordered.
__________
1. Bearcat scanners, as well as some J. C. Penny's models
manufactured by Bearcat, use less common 10.8 MHz IF's
2. microprocessor clocks and CB radios for example
