My guess is that the two intended
filter frequencies are:? 90Mhz (second harmonic of 45MHz 1st LO)
and 12MHz (2nd LO).? The parts represent the right values for a
filter at 90MHz, but it seems that 30M band would be wiped out by
the second of the mods (which somebody has already observed).??
12MHz should be being wiped out instead, so I suspect a typo.
Perhaps? either a 35pF capacitor and the 5?H inductor as stated or
a 3.8?H inductor and the 47pF capacitor as stated being about
right for getting the filter resonant just on the low side of
12MHz.?

Allison,
I'm not 100% sure what his LC traps are doing, but they may not have to move around. My best guess is that the one at TP13 (tuned to around 90mhz) just removes the 2'd harmonic of the 45mhz IF that gets created by those 2n3904's running flat out.? It doesn't have to move.
Example:? Transmitting at 21mhz, clk2 is at 45+21=66mhz. If any 2*45=90mhz energy is present, it mixes with the 66mhz clk1 at D1,D2 to create a 90-66 = 24mhz spur.
Farhan suggests the second LC trap is to suppress the 12mhz BFO energy due to crosstalk between clk0 and clk2. Though we have a report that this also sucks out 10mhz reception, so either that particular example is tuned differently than Farhan's, or that's an awfully wide trap, or I don't know what's going on there.??
If these mods are easily reproducible for acceptable results, good enough by me. We'll see.

Good!? Sounds like it's working!? ;-) I for one am willing to give up 30m on what is mostly an SSB rig.
If you were planning to operate CW on 30m, you could put a couple pins and a jumper in series with that C+L.? So with the jumper out, the mod is undone. Transmitting CW we don't have trouble with spurs, since the BFO and clk1 are both shut down. The only RF floating about the rig is clk2 at the transmit frequency.

Hi Wayne,
Shielding can be added to the interior of those "attractive plastic boxes". I made my own steel box from new steel. But I have used the aluminum foil lining inside wood or plastic boxes, The heavier foil pans that are sold for baking or the ones frozen meals come in are much sturdier than the paper thin foil sold for wrapping food.

Yup.? it is correct.? The easiest way to get the units right is? L in uH , C in uF and result will be in Mhz? ie recip of sqrt of micro x micro .
But remember when you are working at VHF with 5 percent capacitors and air wound coils,? even Tiny errors or tolerances? will put you off by 100s of KHz.? Ditto temperature effects on components.

A 5uh in series with a 47 pf across C202 of the LPF will suppress it. 35 turns on T30-6 gives you 5uh.

Re: DIGITAL FREQUENCY READOUT
look in your software and see what frequency is set for the crystal. use a script that puts the oscillator right on a known frequency (best to use the crystal frequency) calculate how far off it is, calculte the real crystal frequency adjust your software. or use the calibration method specific to the firmware you have chosen, if you aren't able to do the above. All mine have been 3-4 kilohertz off from the crystals "stated"' frequency. Putting in the correct constant for the effective true oscillation frequency of the crystal clock is a huge step toward having accurate frequencies. Then set your BFO if needed. This is really a short-kit and you have to apply some of your "ham-smarts" to make things work correctly. Because you studied and passed a ham radio license exam, you're one of the few people who are enabled to make such changes to your own amateur radio gear! Take advantage and develop your knowledge and skills!!!
