ok 3.58 megacycles

Actually, since this is about being picky, that too would be incorrect.

What you must mean to say is "3.58 megacycles per second". Without
the additional bit, it technically means nothing, because it does not
specify the period during which all those cycles are counted.

When Megahertz were introduced, it was defined as including the "per second"
bit, making it unnecessary to spell it out.

Printed on this circuit board next to a component is "Y1". It looks like

small tantalum cap (yellow, shiny [epoxy?], "radial" leads

Printed on the side of it is a logo (can't make it out) and:

3.58U

I don't remember seeing a "Y" designation before. What is it?

Thanks,
