Ok RCin, that makes sense... but lets say I bought the following crystal:
Digi-Key - CTX083-ND (Manufacturer - MP101)
30pF capacitance load... the concept as I understand it would be to place a 30pF capacitor in series with the crystal, and then adjust the harmonics
after the crystal with a NPN transistor?
This particular crystal does not have a load variance/range so I assume using a trimmer on such a crystal would burn it out if I went anywhere above 30pF... am I starting to get the gist of all this?
