Actually I have several 56 splits. When I ordered the xtal, I ordered for high
side injection, and it does not want to tune up real well. Put a 147.78 LSI,
and it tunes to better than -110 dBm. So this is the reason I want to try a 66
split and see if it will do any better.

Mathew,
I've used lots and lots of the 66s to go down to 145/146/147 with no
problem. Tunes to GE spec. I have found lots of 56s from Canada.
Seems their commerical band is in the 140-150 range unlike the USA in
150-170. Both tuned with no problem.
I will not say all 66s will tune down, but 98% do and meet spec. If
56 is not tuning then I would say it has a problem. 66s are easier
to find, the easiest, but there are 56s out there.
