Good question, I thought of that myself after I hit the send button!

Somewhere in my papers - I have an article that came out specifically
dealing with taking a "Space Patrol" type walkie talkie and placing it
on "6
meters" as a QRP rig. I bought a pair to do it - and things got hectic.
That
became a back burner project. I still have the walkie talkies but have
to
dig out the paperwork.
There was a group of us back in Boston in the late 80s doing that a
lot ... we had a big bin of the xtals, and were tuning them up for a
local 6m repeater.
I also had a simplex pair that I used to build a fun 2400 bps packet
rig.
Imminently hackable, and amazingly cheap.
Good memories.

Computer software consists of only two components: ones and
zeros, in roughly equal proportions. All that is required is to
sort them into the correct order.
Yeah - the biggest deal of it was changing the crystal. I think the coils
and so on - were pretty much there within reason to oscillate. Been a
while since I read the article though.
