MICOR LOW BAND CONVERSION TO 6 METERS
There are special programming instructions and interfacings this is just a part of the mod. More to come.
The following mod is for a Motorola 42-50 split Micor low band radio. The mod takes under an hour to complete and consists of changing the values of the capacitors on the five front-end coils and five in the crystal injection stage ( not the IF stage ) . When completed, the receive sensitivity will be 0.20 uv with no effort (centered on 52.525).
Front-end mod: (must remove shield cans from coils to get to caps) Change capacitor C113 to 18pf
C116 to 18pf
C118 to 18 pf
C120 to 18 pf
C122 to 3.3 pf
Injection mod:Change capacitor C108 to 33 pf
C109 to 68 pf
C110 to 68 pf
C125 to 33 pf
C127 to 43 pf
All caps are small ceramic types or dipped mylars. Most of the mobile versions do not require mod to the exciter stage or PA. This will depend on your particular radio.
