who manufactures crystals for hobbist's remote-controlled mo

[Andrey]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to find specs and manufacturers who have stock of crystals for
hobbyist's remote-controlled models: planes, cars etc.

There are standard pairs: 27.045 MHz Tx and 26.59 MHz Rx; or 27.095 MHz Tx
and 26.64 MHz Rx.. The same crystals used in Wireless Mice/Keyboards, the
ones with 27 MHz radios. Browsed through many catalogs - can not find any.
There are at hobby shops, but I am trying to determine places to buy bulk.
It is pretty clear that somebody mass-produces them, who?

Any pointers?

Sincerely,

Andrey

Methinks that the electronic catalogs would say what brands they sell.
For example, Mouser lists Abracon, Citizen, Crystek, ECS, Fox, Seiko,
and Vishay.
Digikey lists Citizen, ECS, Cardinal Components, Epson Electronics,
CTS, and Connor Winfield.
I can add TXC and Toyo, and vaguely remember a number of companies in
Texas that made crystals (20+ years ago), one may have been named Texas
Crystals in Houston.
Then, only as a last resort, google just might help...
