Radio conversion- Crystals- would it work?

[1587as]

I recently bught a raytheon Ray48A marine radio telephone. i finaly got it working and i was wondering when i opened it up that if i could put a different crystal in it and make it so i can transmit on radio stations. either fm or am. or what would i have to do. or could i do that with a cb. or what can i by a cheap kit. i am really intrested thank you.

You could probably recrystal it to the 2M ham band, but it would require a major retune and might not work well. This is an FM only radio.
