Motorola Expo to Two Meters

[Bud Simciak]

Has anyone converted the Expo to operation on two meters (voice)?
What is the crystal frequency formulas?

I have a full compliment of test equipment but would love to get any
info available.

Thanks, Bud W4HXP

The VHF Expo was manufactored in three band spacings. 136-150.8 Mhz, 150.8-a62
Mhz, and 162-174 Mhz. They will not work very well outside these band
spacings. Also, the Expo's I work on are very bad about frequency drifting and
require either a jig for calibration, or old case with holes bored in it to
get to the calibration points, or a whole lot of taking it in and out of its
case and making frequency adjustments.
