muTek range of linear frequency transverters enable operation on new
bands without the expense and confusion of having to purchase a new
transceiver for each band. The range of transverters is split into
two groups denoted by the suffix 'a' or 'c'. The 'a' suffix
transverters have been designed to operate with H.F. transceivers
with a low power 28/30 MHz transverter output. These transverters
will all operate with the transceivers external A.L.C., or with
their own internal A.L.C. This use of automatic level control is
unique to muTek transverters, and prevents overdrive of the output
stage and hence keeps the transmitted signal clean, even when an
over enthusiastic operator 'talks it up' under contest excitement.
The 'c' suffix transverters operate from a 144/146 MHz I.F. and are
designed for power levels up to 10W. These transverters have all the
facilities of the 'a' suffix units, except there is no A.L.C.
feedback to the transceiver as this facility is very rarely found on
modern V.H.F. rigs. The transverters are housed in a rugged aluminum
chassis with a steel lid and finished with a decorative front panel.
The dimensions are 12.5" X 1.5" X 6.5". The I.F.
connectors are BNC and the RF connectors are N type. The
transverters are powered from 28V (no stabilization needed!) and
feature 25W power MOS fet output stages, giving higher tolerance to
high VSWR's. |
