What good is a 617.5 MHz resonator?

I hope that they all fit into one large garbage bag.

Now *that* is funny.

*2 = low end of 1.2 ghz ham band *4 = too high for 2,4 ghz ham band unless you subtract a If of about 50 mhz. *9 for 5.6 ghz ham

maybe IF for a digital satellite system

617 I belive is assigned to astronomy receive, so probably used as a IF or source for something else.

Multiply by 2 and then divide by 1235 000 000 gives you 1Hz tick forr clock ;-)

channel 37 is radio astronomy

617.5 MHz might be the carrier freq used for wireless mics on Ch 38 which would NOT be the same as the video or audio carrier for TV.

And there would be certain advantages for it not be receiveble by a tv set that just happens to flip through channel 38.

I wonder if the parts are mis-marked, though that doesn't account for why the spec sheet talks about a tv modulator.

Sell'em on eBay as "New Age Harmonic resonance of the Spheres good-luck charm!"

"Silver-plated by craftsmen, just as the Incas plated their time-travel pyramids at Machu-Piccu!"

"Arrayed in a pyramid, nobody has proven that they will not meet your every expectation!"

"Receive one per month, collect the whole set!"

"A limited edition, once these are gone, there will be no more!"

Um, these are GOLD plated, actually.

Well there you go then. Got a blowtorch handy? ;-)

Well yes, but better to have a practical application.

It's like the old Meshna-type surplus adds "we got us a carload of these and don't have an idea what they are suppose to do, so you can get them cheap". But then sometimes someone would find an application, or even information about them, and the price would jump because it's no longer as useless junk.

I seem to recall one of those old-time surplus places even offering merchandise in return for information or applications for the useless junk. They'd get it really cheap, but would like to get more of a profit, and that only comes with something useful.

The classic example of these was the AN/WBL54-D/U's which until recently sold for $23.50 each. These ZPE phase nutators let you reduce your power bill by 98 percent. The slip rings alone also have 35 pounds of silver in them.

Get a x4 multiplier and you're on ch.4 wireless cam frequency.

617.5 * 4 = 2470MHz

I don't see a datasheet via Google. Is it possible you have a ceramic filter instead of a resonator?
