HW-101 - Putting it on Three Megs!

[Paul K. Dean]

I did a very similar thing some years ago with an SB-310 receiver.  Wanted
to change the 26.9 mhz "CB" band to 10 meter coverage.  Calculated the
proper crystal frequency, ordered it from International Crystal. Installed
and went through the alignemnt for that band.  Bingo!  10 meter reception!
