BPF and Mixer - SSB Transceiver-Receiver Section: The signal from the RX/TX relay is filtered by an 80Mtr band pass filter. This can be replaced by a filter for another band or a bank of switched filters, for a multi band rig. If you need to cover from 3.5 to 4.0 MHz, you will need to replace the 10p coupling capacitor with one of a larger value (about 18p). You can wind your own inductors, about 18 turns on a 10K type Toko former will have 5.5 microhenries of inductance. __ Designed by EI9GQ homebrew radio
