MT3 low band to 6 meters


 

Greetings. New to the group here. I have a pair of high split low band modules I have been trying to move to six meters. I made a spreadsheet that calculates the dip switch settings for up to 54 MHz and followed factory info on adjusting VCO and alignment. I have taken a look at most of the recent threads concerning moving modules up and interestingly have found the receiver tunes fine for me, with ok though not perfect sensitivity, but my tx power output is very low as I get to the frequencies in the middle of the six meter band. Like 500 milliwatts. I assume this is the tx low pass filter coming into effect. I have heard that there are some simple mods to the LP filter to adjust the cut off frequency upward. Can anyone offer details of the filter mods? Thanks! Spencer - K7SLB

On the lowband modules you have to swap the transmit and receive vco's to get it to go to 6 meters

Sorry, my mistake. I was thinking of the high band modules.?
