Thanks for the replies Al & David,
upon looking at the manual for the Murphy it is indeed as Al said an AM unit and theres not a lot of activity on the 2M AM Band last time I checked so unfortunately probably not worth trying to convert the unit.This then leaves in a quandary of what to do with it as its a nice unit that also came with a mobile set and it seems a bit mean it break it for parts.
David I still have my ex-PMR rally bought 2M Radio which I had to convert and program eproms for and it still works and I use it most evenings and weekends.
I think it cost me a £10 along with the components for conversion and used to share the shack with a Pye Vanguard unit that I managed to source crystals for so I could work into the local repeaters.
Regards
Luke
