Superstar 2000 4×50ch xtals

Post by bigal68 »

Hi folks,

I have picked up a Superstar 2000 in reasonable to good cosmetic condition. At some point in its life, someone has changed all the xtals, hacked at the pcb by the channel change and put it on 10m.

I would like to restore it to 11m again, and wonder if anyone has a surplus set of the correct xtals for it, or maybe the frequencies/specs for the xtals and I will look into getting some made....??

I dont have many cybernets here, being a big fan of the 858 radio's, but I used to have one of these "when I was a lad", and would like to sort this one, probably out of misplaced nostalgia...

Thanks in advance....

It might be worth giving Spectrum a call to see if he has a set, The Mid band crystal [Band C] is a regular 20.105 but my memory is lacking and i cannot remember what the other three are.

Can one of those PIC things be used in this instead?
