The recieve crystal freq = (recieve freq - 16.8MHz)/3 The 1st if is 16.8MHz. 2nd is 455KHz. You'll have to tweak the front end recieve LC circuits some, but don't touch the IFs. And tweak all the xmit LCs. How to tell apart? You should get the service manual. Mine refers to H23ff...., so yours may differ some. You might need to add some tiny caps (both physically and in the pF range) to get the LCs down from 163 to 146. There is also a "PL Reed" that I will probably need. What >is this? Motorola wants $90 I DON'T THINK SO!. I'd like to substitute with >something a little less pricey. If the reed is "4A", it may be compatable with the local repeaters. or the reed circuits could be removed, but there's some small change to make to the squelch. As for the NiCads, I wouldn't be suprised that they might be dead now. I mean not chargable anymore. I've been using an HT220 board or my packet radio, crystaled on 145.07MHz. Coupled with a small power amp stage to generate about 8Watts. It's been going for 5 or more years in this service, and the friend who gave it to me had it this way (different freq's for voice work) ten or more years before. It just keeps on going.... We run it off a power supply, and I'm using a J pole antenna. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 May 1994 21:24:14 MDT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!swrinde!gatech!newsfeed.pitt.edu!nntp.club.cc.cmu.edu!news.mic.ucla.edu!unixg.ubc.ca!quartz.ucs.ualberta.ca!alberta!ve6mgs!usenet@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Daily Summary of Solar Geophysical Activity for 25 May To: info-hams@ucsd.edu /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ DAILY SUMMARY OF SOLAR GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY 25 MAY, 1994 /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ (Based In-Part On SESC Observational Data) SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY INDICES FOR 25 MAY, 1994 ------------------------------------------------------- !!BEGIN!!

New Region 7728 (S07E52) was numbered. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be very low. The geomagnetic field was unsettled to active for most of the past 24 hours. Storm conditions occurred from 25/0300-0600Z. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was moderate since about 25/0900Z. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to range from quiet to active for most of the forecast period. Effects of a recurrent disturbance may be seen by the end of the third day.
