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

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 high-band Mitrek
to 2m, so I have no idea what issues may arise.

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...
