Does anyone know where I could buy a couple of the ICS501 IC'S

This ic may work well as a crystal oscillator for the SoftRock
series of radio.
But, if you must have it, America II Electronics has 250 in stock, Quest Components has 4000 in stick.
I actually wonder why a 74AC04 wouldn't work just as well....

Bruce,
consider carefully the use of that chip. While I haven't ever
used it, and so I can't speak from experience, I have been told
from knowledgeable persons that its phase noise is terrible, as
it is meant as a clock generator for logic circuits, and not for
analog applications where spectral purity is of utmost importance.
