This article provides conversion instructions for radio model # GE/MACOM MASTR-III Group 2 (150. 8-174 MHz) Repeater or Base, Combination Number SXS, to allow it to perform adequately in the 144-148 MHz range. Please be aware that this document is currently.... -
We all know how a dip meter works and what it measures - the resonance of an LC circuit. The circuit featured here is designed to work in the VHF range. The tester coil is inserted in the LX terminals and placed near the LC circuit to be tested. The variable.... -
The material in this section shows how we built the Twist-Shift system for VHF using commonly available (and cheap) surplus land mobile VHF transceivers modified to operate on the 2-meter ham band. The radios we used were the 100-watt Motorola SyntorX model..... -
A 'TV modulator' is really no more than a transmitter. It is a very small transmitter, admittedly, but none the less that is what it is. What does a modulator actually do? In general -and this design is no exception to the rule - it is a simple oscillator.... -
This is a simple and low cost wide band VHF field strength meter. The field strength is measured by converting the radio signal to DC and measuring it. The RF signal will be picked up by the coil and rectified by the diode D1. Even a very small DC voltage is.... -
