I have not done this on a 420 Micor, but I have on a 450 Micor, which is essentially the same. As Neil pointed out, all the interstage coupling is done at 50 ohms, so you only need to decide how much power you need, and modify accordingly. The controlled stage will put out 2 to 7 watts, if you

I agree with Neil's comments, and have had similar experience and luck doing so. There really isn't anything to it, much easier than the Hack-Saw 10 watt VHF IPA Kevin Neil McKie wrote: Although I haven't experimented with the 406-420 Micors, I have done some trouble shooting on the

Larry - I've taken 450-470 MHz Micor 25 watt mobiles ran them on only the pre-driver to get about 9 watts out (I bypassed the rest of the PA deck). I also had to bypass the power control board to make it work reliably. -- Original Message -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a

What is the best way to reduce power on a 100 watt micor mobile for repeater use? I have redused the voltage in to 12.8 volts and have developed a cooling system on the P.A. deck that has constant air flow over the circut board as well as the the heatsink. Thanks, Bruce KD4BOH.

Hi There! Micor mobiles do not like be lowered below 2/3 rated output.. they like to go boom! I had a couple of 100 watters that both went funny even thought I had them in the 60-65 watt range. they were replaced with 40 and 60 watters and those micors are still playing today. I have

Bruce, Although you can disconnect half of the four final transistors and change the matching components appropriately to have a 50 watt PA, it's better to simply exchange the 100W amplifier board for a lower power board. I'm guessing that you could probably find someone to swap boards with,

One time a few years ago, one of the now lurkers on this remailer, brought his 100 watt high-band Mocom-70 to me to tune up for him. On a lark, I decided to run it wide open in this case with 16 Volts DC. Wide open, the 100 watt transmitter put out 240 watts. Ran my 100 watt
