No, the rods are full length, in fact they will bottom out. With the caps
or inductors removed they simply will not tune down to the ham frequency.
With the caps in place, we can get to the upper ham band. No soap for the

the radio with a Micor (although you did say units, not sure if you are talking

Probably about $50 for crystals, I suggest sending
the channel element to ICM to have the crystal installed and temperature
compensated.
Keep in mind too that you will need to tune the
radio to the new frequency. It will be well worth your efforts, you have a fine
machine.
