Harold,
Thanks for the reply.
Where do you get the Murata resonators?
My specific need (which I should have mentioned at the first) is for a 4
mHz ceramic resonator with caps built in. I am cloning a project that
was prototyped with a Picstic and want to change nothing in the software.
I don't ask these questions lightly. I've spent hours feeling stupid and
frustrated on the web and on the phone etc and still don't know (but am
learning more now thanks to this great list - though conflicting info
still happens).

Looking forward:
Alan Shinn
