Hello Tim. I think the specs on your Micor are 402-430, But I could be wrong. What freq was it crystalled on before you retuned it? Also what is the frequency you tuned it on now? That gives us better information as to where it was and where you tuned it to. Butch, KE7FEL/r On Mon, Sep 6, 2010

Hello Martin Have you contacted Celwave to see if the have tuning specs usually for these. I am not sure if you will get it up to 440 or not. I was told that they are pretty narrowband, but I might be wrong. YMMV Butch, KE7FEL/r On Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 1:18 PM, cruizzer77 atlant...@gmx.ch
