k. How to Change Frequencies
Transmitter
A rapid change of frequencies is possible simply by unplugging an
interchangeable plug in crystal on the back of the transmitter and
then plugging in ano-
ther one of a different
GB
frequency.
Crystals for both the
transmitter and receiver
must be matched with
each other.
Make sure that the crystal
is fully inserted in the
transmitter and receiver,
not partially.
