It will come to 5 volts if you find a ferrite slug. I got some out of an old HT... don't remember if it was a Motorola or what, but it had the right size slugs for PLL exciters. I *may* have more of them around, but would have to look. Paul N1BUG On Sunday 19 December 2004 07:01 pm, DCFluX

That was several months ago. I don'd remember what frequency we did tune it to ... although I'd want to believe it was the operating channel frequency. After changing the exciter away from the PLL to the crystal/ICOM version, it worked. Neil Kevin Custer wrote: Neil McKie

I am currently running the MASTR-II PLL exciter on 146.640 MHz. I am running the G2 version and have never been able to find a ferrite core to replace the aluminum one. It is alot easier to tune than the multiplier board. Still I can only get the tune test point voltage to 3.6 volts and that is
