[QUOTE="Rob_In_MO, post: 229555, member: 1520"] Yeah - I got lucky on a few of them with that RCA. Luckily there's a guy on eBay that sells them cheaply, and has quite a collection to choose from. He combined shipping, so it wasn't too painful either. One trick that some people forget is that Regency, Realistic, RCA, etc. all use a 10.7 Mhz IF, while Bearcats use a 10.8 Mhz IF. If you get the crystal cut for the wrong IF, you're 100 Kc's off your desired frequency. Luckily the Bearcats are one of the very few that used the 10.8 Mhz IF. 73 de af0h - Rob [/QUOTE]
