[amsat-bb] Looking for 8.8125 MHz xtal

Hello all,

I'm slowly working through my backlog of projects, and I found the MMDS LNB that I'd planned to use for AO-40. I'm hopeful that we'll eventually have another 13cm transponder and I'd like to find the requisite 8.8125 MHz crystal for the LO conversion.

ICM did respond to my inquiry, so they're not totally out of business yet, but they don't have it anymore.

Does anyone have a spare crystal they'd care to part with for a nominal price?

Specs from one of the webpages:

Crystal Update Information

The original crystal has been analyzed by International Crystal.  A       

+replacement crystal should have the following characteristics:

    The crystal is in a HC-49U holder                                     
    33 pF load capacitance                                                
    Accuracy of 10ppm at room temp and 10ppm -30 to 60 celsius.           
    Frequency = 8.8125 MHz for a 145 MHz IF output                        

The specification number at Internaltional Crystal Mfg. is                

EX49AF320119. Their catalog number is #525345, 8.8125 MHz

Thanks,
