[Motorola] Luggie Talkie

[Richard Schumann]

Thanks for the encouragement Dick!

I am looking forward to hearing the radio on the ham freq...it already works 
very well on 151.16, as I can hear some kind of emergency service talking 
back and forth.  I sent some email to ICM and am awaiting their 
reply....just home the xtals don't cost more than the radio!...hi hi.

Richard

Richard I agree that ICM would be the way to go. I have brought many of 
these radios down to the ham bands over the years and they generally do 
quite well. The BAC nomenclature tells me that you have an all transistor 
receiver and tube and transistor transmitter. You should be able to get near 
2 watts out. If you find you need tubes I think I still have them for the 
transmitter & willing to let them go very cheap. With the AC supply it will 
make a great radio. If the repeater needs CTCSS to access then you have to 
find a way to ad am encoder. I do not ever remember seeing PL in any of 
those series radios.
Good Luck
