Kenwood TS-520s WARC Mod

[Bombardier]

Does anybody have the procedure for WARC band mod?
And also Ineed the 11 meter mod, I have a 35.895MHz Crystal?
Thank you.

That radio was made way before the WARC bands were added. It would take a crystal for any new band, to start.

The 11-meter mod starts by choosing which of the three 10-meter segments you will use for the 11 meter band. You swap the new crystal for that 10-meter crystal, and touch up alignment.

Somebody out there should have done a more step-by-step treatment of this on YouTube. Haven't found it yet, though.

Nomadradio, I am not sure which to remove, looks to be 3 crystals for 10 meter. I think I am to pull the lowest 10 Meter crystal. I will remove this one and install the crystal I have and see if it will give me 27MHz.

It's an incredibly awkward operation. Choosing the one that's easiest to access might be the smartest move.

Where can I find a crystal for 26 mhz?

So, here's a guy selling the crystal for 27 and 27.5 MHz bands, here:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2230930575...d=link&campid=5336136228&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

Nobody seems to list either 26.0 or 26.5 bands that I found.
