Can I ask why one would use the 1980 vintage 828 series in 2017?
These are not synthesised either receiver or transmitter.
So, expensive crystals will have to be bought. Far outweighing the cost of
two much better mobiles such as the PRM80s.
Also, the Rx IF bandwidth and oscillator temperature drift will be a problem.
There were plenty of suitable mobiles at the CCARC Wyong field day swap-meet on 26/2/17.
