Menu item 091, transverter offset selection
|
Transverter offset A selected
|
Transverter offset B selected
|
Transverter offset setting A. Note that the offset must be set so that the "true" frequency is active on the VFO.
|
Transverter offset setting B. Note that the offset must be set so that the "true" frequency is active on the VFO.
|
Transverter offset A in use. Very convenient to see true 23cm frequency!
|
Transverter offset B in use. Very convenient to see true 13cm frequency!
|
Battery indicators are to be used to indicate transverter status. BATT A will be 23cm, BATT B 13cm. The led can light in green and yellow and blink with certain voltage level applied to the battery connector.
|
Battery selection switch on top of the radio. This will be used as "band selector", to select either 23cm or 13cm transverter.
|
The battery compartment quite clearly visible in the bottom of the radio.
|
Lots of space to do things here!
|
Modeling the layout of the available space. Both transverters will be attached to the side of the radio chassis for cooling. The chassis will be used as a heat sink instead of the original small heat sink attached to the transverter.
|
The chassis of the transverter needed to be lowered about 5mm to fit into the battery compartment.
|
Modeling the layout with both 23cm and 13cm transverters. I think I will add at least the 23cm PA in the middle with a diecast aluminum core to distribute heat.
