CTSJ I could be wrong, but I was led to believe that resonators have two,
CTSJ and ceramic filters have three.

Thanks, you are right there, I mixed the 2 a bit, though I think the
main difference between them is that a ceramic filter simply gets an
extra pin attached to it. I experimented with this and found a filter
will work as a resonnator if the middle pin is just left floating.
However, I don't recall if the design frequency was affected. Does it?
