Back in the 70's when we only had 23 channel radios, a lot of guys would clip a wire that unhooked the PA on their radio. This then gave them channel 22A as they called it. I was just looking at a frequency chart from another post and wondered which frequency that 22A would have been. Any ideas? And no, I never did the 22A thing. I would rather have the PA.

But with 22A would keep the kids wondering where the heck we went off to.
Oh yes how I remember 22A it was nice.
In my home town every one had SBE console 2 with VFO's as well.
Those were the days.

Bruce, don't throw me a curve ball that you know I cannot hit. Where in the world was 22B???? I never heard of that one. Or did you just make it up to see how I would respond? I can see you sitting there laughing now. that is a ok. Just remember, paybacks can be tough. HHHHHMMMM>

There were several gaps in the original 23 channels that were set aside for R/C etc.(between 3-4,7-8,15-16,19-20 and two between 22-23). Channel 22A was 27.235 and on some old 23 channel sets the synthesizer used one crystal every four channels. On my old Royce I-640, if you turned the channel selector very slowly between 22 and 24 you could just catch 22A (it took patience) and have a 24 channel radio without mods. If you had a modified radio, 27.155 was very popular for sideband (Ch 16 was sideband back then). Dan |
