Andy,

Since this can be of use to radio amateurs too, let me reply here:
Digikey does not carry Fox, but Mouser does.
Fox makes some xtals that can be programmed by the distributor.
JITO is the acronym for "Just in Time Oscillators".
The Jito ranges are : 0.344 to 125 MHz and 125 to 250 MHz
See page 689 of their latest catalog
or go to:    =20
    http://foxonline.com/pdfs/JITO-2_brochure.pdf.
Prices for qty 1: $14.79
Delivery 10 days or less.

Hop this helps
