Does it matter which way I put a crystal in a scanner? I've been wondering this for years.

As long as one of the choices doesn't involve a sledge hammer, you shouldn't need to worry.

OK, the odd thing is that it seemed that if I would flip a crystal, it would stop working. Thanks.

If that's the case, then it may matter. Flip it back to the way it was when it worked.. :wink:

Remember the old Beach Boy song, GOOD VIBRATIONS--Your crystal is one of the rare ones that isn't a switch hitter :lol:

A crystal can go in either way.
Sometimes a channel element is more than just a crystal.

Thanks everyone, I actually think the crystal is bad. I pick up 3 things at once on it, CW, data, and voice.
