Hi Gary

I have the service manual for it. It doesn't really tell you where to 
put the diodes
for any particular frequency.

There is a chart showing operating frequency range using one of 4 
crystals. You are right.
It will not work into te 2 meter band. So I was hoping I could program 
with 2 channels
on the Red Cross frequencies that are in use in this area. One simplex 
and one repeater
frequency. I look after some of their Motorola radios for them as a 
volunteer. No charge
to them. I am a retired radio tech, and it gives me something to do.

Looking at the xtals that are in the radio and looking at the chart, 
makes me wonder what the
heck the radio was used for before, as neither the X202 Receive or the 
X203 Transmit xtals
are the 4 listed in the manual for the frequency range of 150.005 thru 
170.000 MHz.

Original xtal frequencies were as follows.

operatig frequency range     X202               X203

150.005 ~  155.000          32.02626          36.25125

155.005  ~  160.000          33.27625          37.50125

160.005  ~  165.000           34.52625          38.75125

165.005  ~  170.000           35.77625          40.00125

In it are 33.070 for X202,  and  37.305  for X203. Rather strange
