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. )
