Paul and Chuck

For 144.45 transmit, 8025 kc is the frequency, and the FT-243
units for channel 364 (BC-1335 and -659) will work.

For 144.45 receive, the crystal needs to be 8278.125. The channel
374 FT-243 is on 8275, but the receiver is so broad, that
it will probably be close enough. Or some careful grinding will
bring one up that far.

You will have to make some sort of an adapter to fit the FT-243
into the -522, but that shouldn't be too hard.

Be careful of leaky 832s.  I found that the driver in my -522 went
bad, and the first spare I grabbed out of the box, was bad also.

Wish I could be there this year,sure enjoyed last year.
