16 crystal capacitors tolerance

Daniel

I'm testing a custom board I did. The board has this 16Mh crystal geyer-electronic.de/.../GEYER-KX-7_01.pdf

The CL of the crystal is 12 pF. I'm using a pair of capacitors of 22 pF. The problem is that I didn't realize that the recomended tolerance is 2%. Right now the board has two capacitors of 22 pF with 5% tolerance. Can this be a problem to get the signal of a beacon example? Thank you very much!

    Well I have been working. I changed the crystal for another one, and changed the capacitors to 18pF (anyway 5%, I can't find 2% here). Now the crystal works. Great. Anyway I'm not caching any BLE with the nRF Beacon app for Android. Now I thing that may be a problem with the Balun and the antenna. I had handsoldered the balun, so I'm not sure that it's in the right position. I had tried a couple of times to move it up or down. It's a nightmare. I might have know to avoid the Balun, but now it's late. Any tips to check the Balun's contacts?
