I have a Regency transceiver and want to put it on 2-meter FM. Looking for crystals information. AND if anybody has a schematic, a PDF of that would be useful as well.
presently it is aligned for 155.82, so I will also need to realign it as well.
Does anybody have any information about this radio? Is it even worth the effort?

Burtus, that is close enough! as I examine the PCB pictures, the boards are the same, just with crystal switching added.
The great news is that both the Tx and Rx crystals are third overtone types, and so just by exchanging them I can put it into the ham bands. And as I am Extra Class I can use the radio there, after re-aligning it, which may require adding a bit to the capacitors on a few coils. And the alignment procedure is fully stated, so that is just what I needed.
Thank You.
Now I jut need to find a way to download the manual.
