If I remember correctly the Portable Mobile II used ICOMS for the
channel elements. Just like in the PE series radios.

Good luck it's a nice piece of history.

Any one familiar with the GE Porta Mobile two? It is a low band radio,
and I would like to have it converted to the 6m band. I send it to a
local shop that was familiar with GE products back in the day, they
say it is in very good shape. Any ideas on a company that could make
the crystals? Is this a worth while project? Showing hams this radio
always brings a smile to their faces,a portable radio that is bigger
then most HF mobiles!
