* To identify 10.8 MHz IF crystals for Bearcat Radios...
To identify a Bearcat 10.8 MHz IF crystal, look for labels on the crystal itself that indicate it's from a Bearcat brand, such as "A-135," "MCS-2," "BCM," "BCCH," "BCT," "JK-5," or "ECS-2". You can also calculate the crystal's frequency using the formula (Listening Frequency + 10.8 MHz) / 3 for the UHF band and (Listening Frequency + 10.8 MHz) for the low band to see if it matches known Bearcat frequencies.
