73, Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of wa6jbd I've managed to get 900 Spectras to receive in the 902 range. There are three steps, and it's not necessarily a 'beginner project'. 1. Hack bandlimits to allow programming 2. Modify VCO 3. Retune front end filter. It's possible to meet or exceed rated performance after modification, but takes patience, a steady hand, and a network analyzer or spectrum analyzer and tracking generator. I'm toying with the idea of putting together an article on how to do it, complete with pictures it there is sufficient interest. In the meantime, I'd be happy to supply a description of what's involved to anyone who'd like to give it a try.
