Legally, yes. Easily, no. You're looking at moving a cheap
piece of equipment almost 400 MHz. That's akin to converting
a Radio Shack Flavoradio to pick up TV.
Say you spend $20 for a pair of those units. Figure on spending
at least another $50-$100 in attempting to convert them over.
Then look at Ramsey's catalog -- a five-watt, 12-channel 440 MHz
unit for $149.95 (less case).
I've heard of people moving those units up to 6 meters with varying
degrees of success, though.
The best I've heard is some guy who mounted one up on a tower and
operated it by remote control with his shack. He had worked
six states when I read the article.

If you know how to get in touch with the International Radio Club
of America (IRCA), they had a group of members who did something
similar back in the mid 70s. They would get really good
accuracy, often to the point of being able to ID a station
simply by its frequency. IRCA has a reprint service, and that
info should be available. I don't have their address, but it
should be in the WRTH.

VHF/UHF Handbook, by Jessop, has a good description of helical
filter design; the ARRL Handbook also has a section on them.
Zverev's classic filter design book has a very interesting
chapter on resonators of various sorts, including helicals
at VHF and HF.
I recently ran across a book, whose title escapes me (from
Artech House?), specifically about helical filters and how
to avoid 3\lambda/4 spurs and other annoyances. The author
advocates using a coil with a sense reversal partway along it.

Subject: PADS and single-point grounds
To: ham-homebrew@ucsd.edu
I've been trying to get the shareware PADS to bring all grounds in my
circuit into a single point, without success. I don't seem to have any
control over which pins have the physical connections -- I can connect
all grounds to a single point on the schematic, but when it's imported
into PADS-PCB, that information is lost and PADS re-connects the pins in
a daisy-chain format.
Any suggestions?
