[MRCA] Tadiran RT/PRC-601 Help

[Mkdorney]

Crystal holders have so many different nomenclatures depending on the radio, crystal manufacturer etc. Are those the same crystals used on a CPRC-26 ?  Google your crystal nomenclature and see what pops up. Get crystals that will allow the radio to function and also allow for legal operation. 

I would not recommend harassing a military base with any type of radio traffic. They tend to get rather upset about that, and use their DF gear to find you, resulting in a substantial fine and maybe confiscation of your radio. ( maybe that explains the missing crystals).

>> So I purchased this neat little squad radio labeled RT-601 47-57 Mhz to use on 51Mhz, the seller stated it worked.  So it arrived today and I opened up the cover where the crystals(up to six)are and they are all gone.  I have to doubt it was working, I figured I would need to purchase a new crystal any way, just disappointed.

According to the single source I found it uses a CR-83/U crystal, a chart I found says the CR-83/U is a 5th overtone in a HC-50/U enclosure.  The chart inside the radio says to add +21.4, so if I order a crystal I want the crystal frequency 72.4Mhz ?
