The problem with the "A" parts (ie 73A) is that the ECS resonators with built in caps have too much internal capacitance (30 pF+). I have been able to get 20 MHz ECS CAPLESS resonators to work with a 73A running up to 20 MHz. myke "I was well aware that the processes of puberty are often fatal to psychic power." - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
