Hello all and thanks for reading this.  I need to get my hands on a

amplifier.  I have the manual and schematic for an SB-200, but need
to get a hold of the SB-201 manual/schematic to see what the
differences are between the two.  I will gladly pay for postage and
photocopy expenses.  Please let me know if you can help.

assistant: I have one of those here as well. Where would you get the crystals at? I
tried what I had here, scanner crystals, and they work okay (the IF is 10.7)
for receiving, didn't have any that were suitable for xmit'ing, but the
"standard" crystals are too TALL, the case won't close.
  Please tell me who offers the shorter crystals, I'd like to play around
with this myself. :-)

Inregards to the Motorolas, what are there frequency abilities ?  Are they
crystal control or micrprocessor ?  How easy to program ? How area the batt
packs, still have good life or need replacing ?
I am volunteer firefighter, and can use radios that will work on our freqs (
450 -461 mhz )
The pager, how hard are are the crystals to get ?
Finally, the VHF mobile, will it work in the Ham bands ?  Is it crystal or
microprocessor ?  The ham radio club I have at the HS here needs a rig for
packet - will this one work ?  Please advise !   Thanks....
