What model of radio are you working with here? ------ Original Message ------ Received: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 08:47:06 PM PST From: "wb6dgn" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Source of Coil Slugs
> I'm trying to modify a commercial boat anchor from 42 - 50 Mc. up to the 6 meter ham band. Not even one coil in the RF preselector and 1st oscillator/multiplier chain will tune into the ham band, which is very unusual for this radio. There are just too many tuned circuits to consider removing coil windings or changing capacitors so I want to try using brass or aluminum coil slugs in place of the powdered iron ones now used. Does anyone know of a source for these slugs? I can mic. the slug diameter and guestimate the thread pitch if anyone has any suggestions. TIA for any/all help. > Tom DGN > >
