Likewise, several years ago I experimented with re-crystalling 2 Motorola Spiritone pagers.
Pager A went from 35 MHz to 29 MHz & worked well, extremely sensitive after changing a few RF stage components. Pager B went from 43 MHz to 53 MHz & worked well, extremely sensitive after changing several RF stage components. My RLC-3 controller was able to call the pagers very well. ------ Original Message ------ Received: Mon, 04 Jun 2007 09:53:23 PM CDT From: Joe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Do Anyone Use Their Repeater For This > I experimented with this years ago.
