Remove parts of the PA back to the desired output. Match that output correctly to the LPF. Here is a similar conversion where I took a 100 watt MICOR PA and sawed it in half - wound a custom output transformer - and coupled it to the LPF (low pass filter): Scroll down in the page to see the picture and read the caption above: http://www.kuggie.com/ahra/hmftinfo.html OR Use the exciter to drive a Japanese power brick. Easily done with one of these: http://www.repeater-builder.com/products/ampbd.html Tastes great - less filling (cheap and spur free) Remove the audio amplifier or put a switch in line with the B+ to it.
