Setting up various signal direction aerial coupling devices.
FM two way radios
: Repairs
: frequency programming.
: re-tuning and alignments by using software
: Joining the radios to the land line phone network.
: Increasing the radios from 8 watts to 40 watts TX power.
: improving the RX sensitivity
:changing the frequency band.
: modifying the radio to operate pumps and gate solenoids by remote control.
: Data communications via radios.
: modifying the radios to send and receive low quality video signals for surveillance or security . People say it can't be done but it can be done. I did it.
Using the Video from the discriminator and not from the audio stages
: Modify to make a radio into remote control panel. Allowing the body of the radios to be mounted in the trunk or under a seat while the front control panel is mounted in a user accessible position.
: using radios as home security system without the need to use a monitoring company.
: Finding parts that will work when the replacement parts are no longer available ..
: programming and tuning up radio repeaters and networks.
: setting up a repeater to use one aerial for transmitting and a separate aerial for the receiver .
: extending the band width by 10- 25 Mhz with software or with modifying the radios
joining a HF radio with a UHF radio to configure a repeater, these radios are designed to function as a repeater.
:I can repair any radio with any fault.
:I can do similar things with VHF cordless phones.
:I had VHF cordless phones with 5 km range by using parts out of a HF CB radios
:I used the I.F. frequency to JAM and radio using almost any frequency. I can design and make an jamming device using either parts of a older radio of a part of a cordless phone
these are what I can think of off the top of my head right now
: there might be more . I might be remembering them later on.
HF radios: Increased power output,
By returning in AM radios
By changing component such as PA transistors and other components .
: improved the receiver sensitivity
: Increase TX audio amplitude
: : modifying the radios to send and receive video signals
: Interfacing the AM radios with the telephone network { before the DTMF system, using decadic dialing}
: extend the frequency coverage by changing the BCD input selection and by changing crystals in the PLL circuit .
and retuning the PA and the aerial coupling :
For example a HF CB radio starts at 26.695 to 27.405 Mhz. My radios went from 25.3 to 29.4Mhz
Convert the AM radios to FM
SSB radios: HF CB radio starts at 26.695 to 27.405 Mhz. My radios went from 25.3 to 29.9Mhz
: Increase output power from 12 watts to 40 watts
: increase frequency band width
: change to FM
: Using a DCS signal in the SSB to turn things on and off
: Interface to a public telephone network
: Interface a DTMF keypad to the Audio TX circuit
Use the SSB radios as a Mobile phone at I can dial and accept calls any where in the world.
Modifying the aerial coupling cct in the output stages
Make an aerial system to talk to anywhere in the world, Yagi aerials x 2 co-phased and single directional aerials
Making Rombic aerials
Making Dipoles aerials
building other aerial systems .
Making parabolic dish aerials with 60 to 80 db gain
Building external 1000W RF amplifiers and the power supply to match
