Thanks for the quick reply. The exciter is dead and sitting in the junk pile. What we're trying to do now is to match the 15-20 watt amp to the output of a MaxPro1. The amp has an input impedance of something other than 50 ohm. Without reverse engineering the exciter and some complicated math, I can ...

Thanks to those who at least took a look. I know it's old, but I figured I'd give it a shot. It's a project now put on the back-burner. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be glad to hear from you. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I would have had them sooner but it seems Netscape 6 has issues with GeoCities, and I had to re-install M$ IE to access the website.

The transmitter kit was supposedly from Radio Free ...

We've replaced an antique (?) 20 watt stereo home built kit, with a Max Pro I, after the unfortunate demise of the exciter. Is anyone familiar with older (70's ??) kit transmitters? This unit is unmarked and came second hand with no supporting documentation. I'd like to know if there was another ...

See if you can locate an average CB SWR meter and a 50 ohm dummy load. Test the meter on the dummy load. If you get a reflected reading of 1:1 or close to it, the meter is probably reliable enough for FM work. Most of the meters I have work up to at least 150 MHz (2m ham band), even one real cheap ...
