G1MFG 23cms TX
SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS
BY
Martin G8KOE TO USE TX ON GB3VR
Unmodified G1MFG 23cms TX |
|
Follow track to the right of yellow preset, remove chip capacitor and also the 470mfd on main PCB. Fit a link in place of 470mfd if Pre-emphasis is to be fitted externally. |
|
Fit 47mfd -ve to video input pin +ve via gray wire to right pad of removed chip capacitor. This bypasses internal video processing and level preset. |
|
Fit a Pre-emphasis network. This can be fitted to the PCB by rearranging the preset etc as shown or fitted externally. |
|
Also fit a 75ohm resistor after the Pre-emphasis network and a 100pF capacitor across the video gain preset on PCB from hot end to wiper. This will improve the HF response. |

MOD's from Martin G8KOE |
|
After the above MOD's good pictures can be seen via GB3VR. ( The TX suffers from a lack of low frequency response and can suffer from poor frame lock on some monitors. ) |
