Around 1960, as a new Ham operator, I acquired a couple of the URC-4's
surplus from Kelly AFB in San Antonio. We found that we could replace the
crystal
and change the coil tuning slugs from ferrite to brass and get the unit to
tune
to the two-meter band. The transceiver was set up for 121.5 MHz so all the
coils in the multiplier chain needed to go higher and this did the trick, I
believe without other modifications.
