[MRCA] 10-Meter FM

[Al Klase]

The recently released MRCG (West Coast MRCA) field day video sparked a 
10-meter FM discussion on today's C/LRRP Net.

So, we'll try to support such operation at future MRCA gatherings.  
We're talking the "armor" frequency range 27.0 to 38.9 MHz.

Candidate Radios:

SCR-608/628:         BC-683, BC-684 (Tank Sets)
SCR-609/610:         BC-659 (Jeep Sets)
SCR-619:                BC-1335
PRC-9

OK, what did I miss?

Frequencies:

The standard mil channels were at 100 KHz intervals.  29.6 seems to be 
the "official" FM calling freq.
I think we're loing at 29.1, 29.2, 29.3, 29.4, 29.5, and 29.6.  We 
probably should zero in on one or two.

Crystals:

Tank Sets:  FT-241 Channel 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, and 296 TX, RX is 
not crystal controlled.
         Divide frequency by 72 for actual xtal freq.

Jeep Sets:  FT-243 (One crystal only for TX/RX.)
Channel 291 - 6200 KHz
Channel 292 - 6225 KHz
Channel 293 - 6250 KHz
Channel 294 - 6275 KHz
Channel 295 - 6300 KHz
Channel 296 - 6325 KHz

So, who's this crazy?
