Tom, The Mitrek coils are not the same as Micor coils. Not even close.

GOOD AFTERNOON kEVIN This last response is my thinking about the Mitrek and is why I asked the question earlier. If the Mitrek coils are the same as the Micor coils what factor would prohibit this being done. There is considerable work to change the coils but if the Micor coils are the same nothing would prohit a person from doing this. As I said earlier I know for a fact that the mid band receivers will not tune lower than 146 Mhz. Perhaps an occasional one would be found that would tune to 144.0 Mhz but not all. Thanks. 73 de Tom Manning, AF4UG ----- Original Message ----- From: Gmail - Kevin, Natalia, Stacey & Rochelle <mailto:spar...@gmail.com> To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2008 12:54 AM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Converting a Range 2 VHF Mitrek to Range 1 (WAS: Holiday Special...) Hi, Is there a point inside the Mitrek that one can take the audio out to the controller (in this case a Link-Comm RLC-2A)? A low band Mitrek (33Mhz) I have downloaded the information from"Lou's Mitrek Repeater Conversion" and a couple of others which mention a schematic for emphasis before going into the controller. Taking the audio out on pin 11. I would like to leave this out if possible and feed directly?

Eric, I would think a coil retro like what I make available for the MICOR will also work in the Mitrek. This approach would be way better than tacking some added wire onto the existing coil or modifying the screws in which I know that is a bad idea. Is there something special about the Mitrek front-end that you believe would prohibit such a conversion? It's been a while since I messed with the Mitrek but I don't remember anything that would prohibit the correct length coil to be installed...
