- Subject: MOTOROLA MITREK TO 9600 BAUD MOD. MOST ALL MAKES
-
- The Motorola Mitrek is one of the BEST radios to use for general amateur
- packet at 9600 baud.
- This mod will allow 9600 baud packet with the G3RUH type of modems although
- other may work as well.
- TOOLS AND SUPPLIES NEEDED:
-
- a. Soldering iron
- b. Solder
- c. Small cutters or a sharp knife or razor
- d. 2ea. Small .1uF disk ceramic caps 12vdc or greater.
- e. 1ea. 1uF electrolytic non-polorized cap.
- f. Manual for your radio
-
- Ok guys and gals! Get ready to get on 9600 baud packet!
-
- A) Locate the transmit audio amp/splatter section on the transmitter
- section of the schematic. Locate the ACTIVE SPLATTER FILTER.
- NOTE the last transistor...Q504 on the vhf version..may be different
- number on other bands.
- B) Now locate the transmit channel elements. Locate pin four on channel
- element #1. Do you note, on the drawing, the line going to pin 4 of
- element #1 to the collector of Q504? This is your direct FM modulator
- input. Cut this trace at the channel element.
- C) Solder one side of the 1uF electrolytic cap to pin 4 of the channel
- element. The other side of the cap is now you modulation input from
- you modem or tnc. I will let you decide how to run it into the radio.
- Use shielded wire.
- D) Install one of the .1uF caps between pin 3 and pin 1 of the channel
- element.
- E) Locate pin 11 on J1. This is the plug on the front of the radio.
- Hook you receive audio there. The average person will not need
- to make any mods to the receiver. If you dont have any real good
- test equipement dont make any receiver mods. IT WILL WORK AOK.
- F) Install .1uF cap between pins 1 and 3 on receiver channel element.
-
- ****YOU ARE NOW DONE****
- NOTES:
- The mod was really easy! You need to make sure that your max deviation
- is 3khz MAX. Set your TXD to 200 milliseconds at the beginning...txd 20
- on most TNC's. After you are happy, start lowering you txd. You will
- probably end up with a txd of 7....or 70 milliseconds.
- The caps on the pins of the channel elements really do not effect the
- 9600 baud operation. What they do is reduce the local oscillator leak
- that emits out of these radios about 20 db...VERY VERY IMPORTANT on
- hilltops.
