Nate is correct in that it depends on where it's going. In general, the transmitter will tune up anywhere in the 2M band.
For me, if the "66" receiver is on 146 or 147, then it generally works with no mods. If the RX is in the 144 or 145 range, then I get high side injection crystals (when ordering) and it works with no mods and has good performance. The first one I tried with lo side injection down in the 145 range had poor sensitivity. Instead of doing the mods (I'm lazy), I re-ordered the crystal for high side injection and it tuned right up.
