James,
Greetings. It sounds like you have found a solution. I write
because I just saw your June post and have an R1 VHF Quantar and need
to swap to Range 2 for a fire department frequency change (153.xxx to
159.xxx). If you were still interested in swapping receivers and
exciters, we'd love to chat. Thanks. If not, tell me more about how
the specs turned out on your project.
