[Repeater-Builder] Converting a Range 2 VHF Mitrek to Range 1 (WAS: Holiday Special...)

2008-12-20 Thread Eric Lemmon
Only one of the five front-end coils for a Range 1 VHF Mitrek (HLD4081, 136-146 MHz) is still available from Motorola Parts. That one is part 2480032A07, the violet coil in L1, for $ 4.15. The only option may be to tack on some extra wire to the existing coils. Although modifying the tuning

This probably will not work on the Mitrek since it may not use slugs to tune the coil, but I had a problem with a crystal on a Delta radio that would not go low enough in frequency.  I removed the slug from the F2 coil and ran the slug for the F1 coil through max inductance and then added the

I've had to add wire to the helicals on two Micors (UHF) to get them down to 447.75. It did the trick. It would certainly be worth a try. Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message - From: Eric Lemmon wb6...@verizon.net To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2008 10:27

Thanks to all who have responded. A quick up date. Putting the dummy load on the TX port of the repeater (replace the duplexer with a dummy load) has shown that the repeater works without cycling - so my initial thought of something going on inside the repeater is out the window... (Thanks Doug)
