- FT 757 Filtermodification
-
- During RTTY/AMTOR operation it is usefull to have an narrow filter
- to reduce QRM from other stations. It is possible to use the narrow
- CW filter of the FT 757 for SSB, because of the shift/width system.
-
- 1.) Cut the connection between cathode of diode D 102 and a 150 OHM
- resistor on RF UNIT. This resistor is not shown in service manual,
- but it exists on all rigs later LOT 4.
- 2.) Take a new diode (1N4148 or similar) and solder the cathode to the
- open end of the 150 Ohm resistor. Connect the anode to middle
- contact of a doubble pole toggle switch.
- 3.) Connect the OFF contact to pin 5 of J10 (SSB 8V) and ON contact
- to pin 8 of J10 (TX 8V).
- 4.) Take another Diode of the same type and solder it's cathode to
- pin 1 of J09 and the anode to ON contact of the second pole of
- toggle switch.
- 5.) Connect the switching (or middle) contact of second pole to
- pin 7 of J10 (RX 8V). The OFF contact will be let free.
-
- For the SPDT switch I am using the MOX switch on the front panel.
- It is a 2 pole toggle switch and you habe to cut the PCB between
- the contacts. Further you have to remove all wirers to the MOX switch.
- That's all.
-
- Attention : There are some errors in the Service Manual. F.e the filter
- connection is shown wrong. If you want to have a corrected circuit diagramm
- or complete modification diagramm please write to Roland Robic OE6RCD,
- Augasse 15, A-8430 Leibnitz, Austria.
- Please enclose an A4 SASE ( 2 IRC or 4 IRC outside Europe Airmail)
-
- This Modification should work also on FT757GX/II.
