CB Radio Talk

Hi all, does anyone have information on what type of crystals a Metrotek Mustang II CB takes? I know they are HC-6U size but are the 1/2 fundamental or the exact frequency or some other type of crystal?

Thanks, for any help. Adam

If you're looking for exact replacement crystals, I'd recommend checking with a CB radio repair service or a supplier who specializes in older radios to ensure you're getting the correct frequency match.

Thanks for the reply, I am looking to see if anyone out there is familiar with this radio and maybe has one and can tell me. Thanks, Adam

That is a very old radio, to find any information try locating a Sam's Photofacts CB-9, that will have the type of crystals needed. To get crystals, you are going to visit a bunch of hamfests or pay big bucks on the internet. From knowledge but my brain isn't what it used to be, it uses a TX crystal that is the exact frequency (ch 1 - 26.965) and the RX crystal is lower because of the receiver mixing crystal.

Thanks Greg, understood, was hoping someone out there had it or the manual, we'll see but thanks for the post. Adam

I agree with MDYoungblood. I would check out some hamfests.Thats the route I would take first.

I did at one time has all the Sam's and several other publications for CB's and ham radios but with moving and feeling I wouldn't need them anymore , they were sold and given to others.

I think Trapper267 on the forum has copies of the Sam's, send him a PM and ask,
