[50mhz] 49 MHz Walkie Talkies to 6m

[Christopher Boone]

They are easy to move....Dave, WB5HJV did that over 15 years ago with a
couple of RS types...and they worked on 52.525....just change xtals and
retune...but to xmit on CW and not MCW on FM may require some redoing..I
bet it will chirp a bit on CW as it comes from the factory :)
