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

Hello Kevin I did not see where you gave a price of a set of Micor receiver coils. Where might I find this info? Thanks. 73 de Tom Manning, AF4UG - Original Message - From: Eric Lemmon To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2008 9:37 PM

Tom, The Mitrek coils are not the same as Micor coils. Not even close. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tom Manning Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2008 3:40 PM To:

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

Kevin, Other than being physically smaller, I don't know of any helical resonator design issues that preclude your Micor mod from being adapted to the Mitrek. I am modifying some low-band Mitreks for 6m duty, but all that takes is a handful of capacitors. I have yet to address converting a

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 fromLou's Mitrek Repeater Conversion and a couple of others which mention a schematic for emphasis before going
