I don't thing the Y prefix is for a crystal. Like was stated I thought
it was for a resonnant filter, i.e ceramic or other type. These tend to
have 3 legs instead of a crystal's 2.

These resonnators are often used to replace a tuned coil because they
are a lot smaller, have a high Q, and can be more accurate without
requiring any tuning adjustment.

AR In article xpi%a.153222$Ho3.18533@sccrnsc03,
AR says...
it is a crystal or ceramic resenator, possibly 3.58mHz

AR This makes me wonder: Where did some of these letter designations
AR come from? Why are most IC's labeled U1, U2, etc..? I'm guessing Y is
AR from crYstal? How about L (or sometimes E) for inductors? Q for
AR transistors?
