Seems you crossed a few threads there.. RCC Exec II's came as synthesized or crystalled. The crystalled version had a 10 ?? channel board for elements.. the synthesized only had 2 but the rf parts were very different under the duplexer. The Crystalled version looked like a multi freq Exec II with a duplexer added on top. If the elements were erased, they were probably re-stuffed at some point.. maybe not original.
The synthesized on had elements that looked like Mastr II Elements.. on large one and one smaller one as I recall.

THe thing that tipped me off, was the sharpie note on it as RCC UHF - up until yesterday I had never encountered one of these. The topside half of the internal workings are what made me stop and pause when I took the cover off. Quite different from the other MASTR II's I was accustomed to seeing. The 7 rows in the channel element area all squished together, as well as the ICOMs installed in there. Someone asked to check for the crystals, and they are indeed there, the RX is 454.025 but whats unusual is that the TX elements do not have the frequencies listed on them. They do not appear to have been erased by hand, or scraped off - is that commonplace for units like these? Having fun learning about this now - makes me want to fire it up and toy around with it some! John Hymes La Rue Communications 10 S. Aurora Street Stockton, CA 95202
