Seriously, some people need to read the original message before replying. The original complaint was running out of tunning range on the piston trimmer in the channel element while trying to net the crystal on frequency.
Not rubbering the crystal to another channel or Nuclear warfare on an inactive club. Also I should mention that the receiver should be set by looking at the LO frequency on either a service monitor or a frequency counter of known precision, Tuning it until it sounds best is not the way to go. The LO frequency for the MASTR-II VHF will be either + or - 11.2 MHz from the receive frequency depending on the whether high side injection was specified when ordering the crystal.
