George,


I use both frequencies in western NY. Both my DEMI and my SG-Labs transverters 
work using a 144/902 & 145/903 setup. One of my rover locations is next to a 
commonly used repeater operating with an output of 145.11 and so 903.1 is 
nearly impossible. In another location I get some kind of digital burst noise 
on 902.1, so having a choice is important for me and its great when others have 
a choice as well. The SG-Labs box also handles 927.5 just as well with an LO 
jumper change. Wiring this out to a switch allows lots of options.

 In the past 903.1 was the weak signal calling frequency for weak signal work 
in the Eastern US. . Due to interference, it has been suggested to  use 902.1 
which would make it the same for all the US. Have most East Coast stations done 
this or is 903.1 still in use?  I am interested  in the June Contest and I am 
debating installing  a second crystal for the lower segment or just removing  
the 903 crystal.
