Hi Dave

 

I have a mk2G= and once you’ve done the diode tx mod it goes to tx mode 0 to 30mhz, however RF out is minimal= much below 250khz, as you get above 400khz it rapidly spools up to 25w or= so max.  My 735 is a bit drifty but fine for WSPR, though the frequency over-reads= by about 20hz or so.  The 706mk2g is spot on however.  Not sure about= the mk2 or the mk1 and what they can do.

 

Cheers

Dear All,

 

Find an old Ic7= 35 or better still a 706mk2g and open it up.  Rx is a bit dull but a datong vlf adaptor= will do the trick too and you have a capable 137/500 transcieve kit
