I want to change the clock value in a device.
I know the unit can handle it but I wanted to ask if anyone know if there
will be an issue.
The current clock generator is an Xtal... I cannot find the correct
frequency XTAL but crystals are easy to get.

thanks for any advice!

XTAL is an abbreviation for crystal. So it is not a problem.

so what are trying to say?
you have a crystal oscilater in a 14 pin dip format, 4 pins?
at a certain frequency
and want to replace it with a crystal because the crystal oscilater
does not work on the frequency you want?

lol

if you can't find the correct Xtal, a crystal will do.

also, if you can't make it work at 3.57 Mhz, as a last resort you could
try 3.57 Megahertz.

make sure, tho, that you only use it for dtv, as it will not work for
directTV.

while you're at it, take steps to avoid SI agents; they have been known
to share information with the gooms in Signal Integrity.

and if the FBI shows up at your door, don't worry, as the only real
danger is if the Federal Beureau of Investigations gets involved.
