Jeffrey, I'm not on the other groups you posted to, so please forward this
to them...
Depends on the scanner/radio and band. The most common scanner crystals
were the "Regency" type:
For VHF High band Crystal freq = (F/3) - 10.7 where F is the frequency
desired, divided by 3, then subtract 10.7 MHz
For example for 162.40 on a regency type scanner:
(162.40 / 3) - 10.7 or
54.1333 - 10.7 = 43.433333 crystal freq
VHF Low band is simply Freq - 10.7
UHF is (F / 9) - 10.7
Most Bearcat scanners used 10.8 (or was it 10.85?) as the first IF, rather
than 10.7
