Actually I have several 56 splits.  When I ordered the xtal, I ordered for high 
side injection, and it does not want to tune up real well.  Put a 147.78 LSI, 
and it tunes to better than -110 dBm.  So this is the reason I want to try a 66 
split and see if it will do any better.

I've used lots and lots of the 66s to go down to 145/146/147 with no 
problem. Tunes to GE spec. I have found lots of 56s from Canada. 
Seems their commerical band is in the 140-150 range unlike the USA in 
150-170. Both tuned with no problem.

I will not say all 66s will tune down, but 98% do and meet spec. If 
56 is not tuning then I would say it has a problem. 66s are easier 
to find, the easiest, but there are 56s out there.
