He could do that, but no guarantee it would resonate on the exact frequency
the radio requires. TRY JAN OR ICM Crystals. They can make one for you.
About $10 per crystal plus shipping. Check them out on line. G.W.


GW, you're not from around here (boatanchors), huh? A LO crystal ain't
going anywhere off freq more than a kc or two. Thats why 42.5 Mhz is a
pretty good description instead of 42.50000000 plus/minus 1%.
This freq is a common number in any number of xcvrs that have been
butchered for CB use.
And, btw, JAN and ICM are great but you're not likely to slip away with
less than an $18-20 order total.
