I don't believe that's correct.  I think they were 36-42.  In any
case, I remember changing a lot of caps, and that no one else in the
group actually got theirs on the air (well, there was Charlie 'PZJ,
who could get anything on the air, but he never actually used his radios).

No, CHP radios were 42-50 MHz.  I've had the CHP Motrac, CHP Motran, CHP
Micor.

I can't be 100% sure about your particular radio, but years ago I had
a Motrac on 52.525 and I do not remember changing any parts. It was a
high split radio on 47 MHz. I do remember it had the noise blanker
option and it tuned up very well and met rated sensitivity and the
power out was right on also.

I had it in my old 4WD ford pickup for close to 10 years, and it never
gave me any trouble at all.

 Does the Motrac style preselector tune on the high end of 6 Meters, 
 53.7 MHz without capacitor changes?  It seems that modifications to the 
 preselector would be difficult, as it appears to be hand wired - 
 assembled. Breaking a coil seems easy to do.
