I have now modified two of them, that is installed a new crystal, which does involve some major surgery. In addition, if one wants to be exactly on a particular frequency (as we have to be with our FCC license: 136.750 +/- 7 Hz), then some small adjustable capacitor must be inserted in series. I would be glad to supply detailed instructions on the process to anyone contemplating the re-crystallization (?) of a Ropex. 73 Andre' N4ICK ************************ 'Geri' Kinzel, DK8KW wrote: > [...] I had exchanged some packet radio messages with Reiner, DL3FDO near > Frankfurt.
