[hpsdr] Mercury Rx on 144 MHz

[Phil Harman]

Hi Maximo,

Yes, you need to modify the filter at the output of the preamp (LTC6400-20) to increase the bandwidth but it works quite well.  Without any other mods I can hear the local FM repeaters fine.  For serious work you will need a low noise preamp and suitable filters. 

By fitting an external bandpass filter between JP2 and JP3 you can also use Penelope on 2m.

  Hi,

  Anyone did try to receive on 144 MHz, with the appropiate band pass filter?


  Thanks
