Group:

Well after going through 267 crystals and calculating every which way (Thank 
God for Excell!) I find I have ONE transmit crystal for 144.45 Mcs but no 
receriver crystal.....:-(

By the way the Receiver crystal mulitplier is 16 for the 2mtr band for a 
'522  (Fxtal  = freq -12 devided by 16 = 8278.13)

Could you please look in your crystal boxes and see if anyone has a 
8278.13Kcs one in a CR-1A holder???

If this does not work out maybe I will open one that is close and do the 
toothpaste trick and see how close I can come ! ! !

Thanks,

Chuck
