ORDER PAGE FT243 CRYSTALS 4000 - 4500 kHz

LOWER FREQ HIGHER FREQ

While they last. Many of these are original WW2-era FT243 crystals designed for receiving on radios with a 455 kHz offset from the 75m Amateur Radio band, like the BC611. Subtract 455 kHz from the frequency listed and it will give you the matching transmit crystal frequency to use with these. With the frequencies listed below you can cover operating frequencies anywhere from 3545 kHz to 3995 kHz.

FT243 crystals have pins spaced 1/2 inch apart, and are used in MANY ham radios made from
the 1940s through 1970s. They are also used in countless military sets such as the BC-611 and GRC-109 etc.
Note - almost all of these are original FT243 crystals, one or two could be relabeled or reworked surplus units with
wire lead crystals inside as described in tube transmitter articles using them in CQ Magazine
and detailed technical analysis in Electric Radio Magazine.

Military Surplus CS-137 Crystal case

These cases hold 120 standard FT243 crystals, as used in WW2 era military radios

the past 50-60 years.

It's a nice green, double-locking case with two compartments that each hold 60 crystals.
Ideal for storing your radio crystals and keeping them from getting lost when you are
not on the air, or they also make a great collectible item.

I currently have one of these left for sale. They go for around $45 to $100 each on eBay.
This is available for $35.00 - for a nice, complete one.

WW2 era FT243 holders with a newly manufactured, HC49 or HC49US hermetically-sealed crystal

of greater than about 60 mA. They have been used successfully in many typical rigs
like the Heath DX40, HW16, DX100, Ameco AC-1, Drake 2NT, Hallicrafters HT-40, BC610,
Globe King, Homebrew power oscillators, and MOPA rigs etc.
