In the case of 2.048MHZ it should be easy to find microprocessor-type
crystals for 4.096MHZ from one of the mail order places like Jameco,
Advanced Computer Products, JDR Microdevices, Active Electronics, Jade,
California Digital, Priority One, etc.

In any case, JAN Crystals Co., 2341 Crystal Drive, POB 06017, Fort
Meyers, FL 33906-6017, tel(800)237-3063, (813)936-2397 will make most
any crystal for a very reasonable price, even in quantities of 1-10.

Example:

Microprocessor crystal, +/- .005% at 25 deg. C for 2.0480 MHZ in HC33/U
metal case is $6.00 quantity one.  The HC18/U can is smaller and can had
for crystals above 2.90MHZ, so you might want to go the 4.0960 MHZ route
(and divide by 2) in the HC18/U package for a whopping $6.50

These prices were effective about six months ago, so you might encounter
a slight variance.  Shipping/handling must be paid, too.  Many crystal
types at custom frequencies, as well as stock off-the-shelf crystals,
are available, including crystals suitable for communications, digital,
and general applications.  Give them a call and request a catalog/flyer.

I have no connection with them except as a satisfied customer.

PS - you can get quite specific with them in specifying the crystal
parameters if needed.  For those less familiar with the technical
aspects of specifying crystals, just describe your application.

Happy oscillating :-)
