[ARC5] FT-243 crystals.

I am pretty sure you are referring to FT-241, not FT-243, marked with the channels 0-79 and 270-389.

Hmm, who's fielding Sherman tanks?

Must not be anything domestic, because the bandwidth on these radios is rather tremendous.  Something like plus or minus 40 kc.  That's illegal in the 20-39 mc band now, stateside unless the military is so desperate due to sequestering that they will resort to this stuff.

I tried to use a BC-604 as a 26 MHz remote-broadcast link transmitter back in the 70s, and could not reduce the bandwidth enough to make it legal.

If anyone has FT-243's marked Channel 0 through 79 or 270 through 389 that 
you just want to get rid of, I'll take them.  There are people still using 
them for what they were originally made for.  Likewise anything not obviously 
civilian between 2 and 3 MC.
