>To the Unified students:
>	I'd like to remind everyone to NOT remove crystals from 
>either your transmitters or receivers. If the radio isn't working, 
>there is nothing you can gain by swapping crystals; come see us for 
>spares and for troubleshooting. Here's some additional items FYI:
>	- If the transmitter crystals are removed, the transmitter is 
>rendered unusable and has to be returned to the distributor to get a 
>new crystal - retail outlets aren't permitted to sell those crystals. 
>We are very short on functional transmitters so PLEASE DO NOT tamper 
>with those crystals.
>	- If your receiver doesn't work, we can readily obtain 
>replacement crystals. There's nothing to be gained by taking another 
>team's crystals and as we have kept logs on which frequencies were 
>issued to which teams, we can easily determine if crystals have been 
>taken without permission.
