[MRCA] SCR-608 Frequency Range Query

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I asked a similar question on the Milsurplus list early last year.  Marty 
Reynolds AA4RM reported that he had either helped or saw W2CQH put a 604 on 
29.1 more or less.  In email I saved he says you operate the first multiplier 
stage at 10X instead of 9X, followed by the standard 3X and 2X for a total 
of 60X instead of standard 54X.  Says that it didn't require any coil mods.  
To hit 29.1 MC you would need a crystal on 485 KC.  Channel 62 on 485.185 
is closest @ 29.111 MC.  Or Channel 349 on 484.722 would hit 29.083.

But since I got the information, I haven't had a 604 on the bench so 
haven't been tempted to try it.
