I happened to be looking at an old LBI for VHF this morning and it had notes about a mod kit available for high side injecton on receivers before a certain version number. So what I gathered was on the early versions they had to be mod'd for HS.
Then later versions would go HS , LS as shipped? I gathered from all the recent post that it was a stock deal to go HS or LS? Clear as mudd now 73 Don W5DK _____ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mathew Quaife Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 4:04 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: WTB: GE EXEC II 66 Split receiver for mobile radio 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 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. 73, ron, n9ee/r --- In Repeater-Builder@ <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com, "n9lv" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Anyone by chance have a GE EXEC II 66 split receiver lying around they > would be willing to part with?
