MHz 
For compliance with modulation bandwidth requirements under 
EN 300 220 in the 863 to 870 MHz frequency range it is 
recommended to use a 26 MHz crystal for frequencies below 
869 MHz and a 27 MHz crystal for frequencies above 869 MHz.  
Tolerance 
±40 
ppm 
This is the total tolerance including a) initial tolerance, b) crystal 
loading, c) aging, and d) temperature dependence. The 
acceptable crystal tolerance depends on RF frequency and 
channel spacing / bandwidth.
