   Wow, it just occurred to me. There were other models that used the X and 
did not have a "crystal filter".
Models with low frequency last IF like the SX101 had LC filters but not 
crystal. So in that case
I assume the X means a very good filter. One as good or better than a 
crystal filter.
But still not a good explanation for the SX140.
    Now, keeping that in mind the HQ129X and similar ones had crystal 
filters but
the HQ170 did not nor did they use the X designation.
