[MRCG] Camp SLO pre-announcement

[Chuck McClurg]

Well I went and ran the numbers and found that TX is 8.025Kcs and RX is 
8.278Kcs as you guessed.  I have a LARGE collection of CR-1 crystals from 
Seig when he did 522 for the CAP and I have one on the trasmittter frequency 
of 8.025Kcs so just will need one for the 
TX..................................

Sieg has them in a couple of metel boxes listed from 108.9 up to 156 
Mcs.....................missing the two meter band complety.......:-(

If anyone has a 8.278Kc rock please let me know.

Now to see if the RA-62 still works or if I need to re-cap 
it...........................................Then see if the rig will run, 
does anyone know of a DC Power input plug for the PE-98-A?  It is the only 
plug I am missing........................

Thanks,

Chuck
