[MRCA] QRP Military Radio Magic

[Anthony Clare]

Jason,

The ProgRock is not my creation. The ProgRock is a device made by QRP Labs as
a programmable crystal replacement. You should check out the QRP Labs site.
They have a number of interesting products. 

I did a conversion on two TRC-77As, one of which Rob is currently using. I
have also successfully used the ProgRock in a PRC-71 HF transceiver and in a
SEM-52 portable.

I created a document that details how I performed the conversion to the
TRC-77. I plan to push that out to the group very soon.

Rob, very cool!

I also have a TRC-77, but its full of the factory default fairly worthless
crystals.

I did a quick search on N3KCB and didn't see any link to any progrock page.

Do you have a link? I'd like to get mine moved to ham frequencies.

Also, I'd be interested in your list of frequencies that you have
installed in yours, as well as anybody else who's got one up and running.

Thanks and 73,
Jason WA6BBQ
