Read the MaraTrac articles. Modify the programming software and see how it works. You might have to add some ferrite cores in the RX front end coils to bring the sensitivity up a bit at 28 MHz, if you need to go that low, but as the radio is already spec'd to 29.7 and you probably don't need much lower than 29.6, it will most likely make it without modification.
Let the rest of us know how you make out.
