the
best close-in phase noise in a quartz crystal.  It was once desribed to =
me
as having the lowest "quartz-to-crud-ratio" since the elctrodes are not
plated on to the quartz.  A limiting factor can be that less RF power =
can be
coupled through the crystal due to the series capacitance effect of the
spaced elctordes. Close-in noise is great but far-out noise could be =
poorer
than typical SC-cut plated xtal due to S/N effects with a lower xtal =
drive
power.

Maybe someone here on this list with more first hand experience can give =
us
more details about the subject.
