Hi John, In addition to the Radio Shack units... we also used the Regency Micro Comm Portables, which were kind of junkie, but they did work and were cheap to buy... not to mention I have the service manual for them. We made two into a wide split repeater but it was not a great performer.
I'll bet that HT-200 low band antenna was the silver extending whip or the real funny rubber duck. Looking forward to the swap starting again... but now located at De Anza College. http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/ The original 49 MHz low power frequencies used by walkie talkies and cordless telephones are/were... 49.830MHz, 49.845, 49.860, 49.875 and 49.890MHz. The previous doesn't include the later added cordless telephone input/duplex frequencies a few MHz lower. And of course baby monitors can be found on those frequencies. Oh I could tell you some very funny stories about "haunted baby monitors". Maybe at Dayton... cheers, s. > "JOHN MACKEY" <jmac...@...> wrote: > In the early 1990's I was at the Foothill College Swap meet > in the San Jose area and there were several guys running around > with the radio shack 49 MHz walkie-talkies that were modified > to 52.525 Mhz. > > At that time, it was kinda cool, but my HT-200 was operating > just fine on 52.525 Mhz (and still is). > > ------ Original Message ------ > From: w7...@... > To: [email protected] > Subject: Radios and Coms in TV and Movies > > Hi Gang, > > Don't forget the "Part 15" channels on 49 mHz.
