Zack,
I bought a LO crystal to make the change to 902 several years ago but
haven't done so yet. I use a DEMI xverter with a FT-221 IF and the IF
radio will not tune down to 143.100 MHz. However I have patched the
xverter IF output into a FT-817 I recently bought used which has no TX
output. Since it will tune 143 MHz I have listened on 902.100 just to
see how the noise was. At my QTH the noise floor is the same as at 903
but what I do hear right on 903.100 is a continuous FM signal on which I
often hear something like "I'll take chicken nuggets and a Pepsi" Are
fast food joints allowed to use this frequency?
