Mods.DK serves as a central repository for **amateur radio modifications**, offering a substantial collection of user-contributed articles. Hams can find detailed instructions for various equipment, from transceivers by Yaesu, Kenwood, and Icom to microphones and power supplies. The database, currently holding 6230 articles, facilitates searching for specific equipment modifications, such as enabling out-of-band receive and transmit capabilities or integrating high-speed packet modems for enhanced data communications. Many entries focus on achieving better performance from existing gear, often detailing how to expand frequency coverage for MARS/CAP operations or optimize radios for 9600 baud packet. The site also includes repair instructions and general improvements for a wide array of HAM rigs and modems, reflecting a community-driven effort to share technical knowledge. Users are cautioned that modifications are not verified by Mods.DK and are undertaken at one's own risk, with potential legal implications depending on local regulations. The platform emphasizes community support, encouraging direct contact with authors or forum discussions for troubleshooting.

mods for the Yaesu FT-100 by radiomods.co.nz

The Kenwood TH-F6A handheld transceiver can achieve an extended transmit frequency range of 137-174 MHz, 216-235 MHz, and 410-470 MHz by removing a specific diode and chip resistor from the main PCB. This modification also expands the receive range on the A-band to 142-152 MHz, 216-235 MHz, and 420-450 MHz. For the TH-F7E, the transmit range extends to 137-174 MHz and 410-470 MHz, with a corresponding receive range on the A-band. Performing these hardware changes will reset and initialize the radio's memory contents, necessitating prior backup of important channel frequencies. Instructions are provided for constructing a homemade PC programming cable compatible with the Kenwood TH-G71A, TH-F6A, and TH-F7E. The interface utilizes an RS-232-to-logic (0-3.3V) level-shifter and a full-duplex serial connection, adapting the Kenwood PG-4S cable schematic for the TH-G71's 2.5mm and 3.5mm phono plugs. Specific schematic tweaks include changing R1 from 150 ohms to 1K ohm to optimize power from the serial port and adding a 150K ohm resistor between the Radio TXD and ground to manage the 3.3V I/O pin. Detailed plug pinouts for the 2.5mm and 3.5mm connectors are presented, with the interface's TXD connecting to the ring of the 2.5mm plug and RxD to the shield of the 3.5mm plug. Ground connects to the shield of the 2.5mm plug, while the tips of both plugs are no-connects. Debugging procedures cover verifying positive and negative power rails from the serial port, checking component polarities, and testing level-shifting and inversion functions of the interface. Software setup involves enabling "TC ON" (Menu 15 for TH-G71, Menu 9 for TH-F6) and using Kenwood's MCP programming software.

1500 watts PEP output from a Kenwood TL-922 amplifier requires careful attention to parasitic suppression and component selection to ensure stability and longevity. This resource critically examines common modifications, often based on anecdotal evidence rather than sound engineering principles, that can degrade performance or introduce new issues. It highlights how replacing aged components often gets misattributed to the efficacy of unnecessary modifications, leading to widespread misinformation within the amateur radio community regarding amplifier stability. The article details specific, effective modifications for the TL-922, such as shortening anode-to-chassis and anode-to-grid paths to improve VHF stability and efficiency. It addresses issues like incorrect capacitor types in the tank circuit, inadequate grid grounding, and poor RF sheet metal design, providing practical solutions like adding direct ground connections for the plate tune variable capacitor. The author also discusses proper parasitic suppressor design, emphasizing the importance of lead length and component selection for optimal performance and harmonic suppression, contrasting these with less effective or detrimental 'magical suppression kits'.

The mini Radio Solutions miniVNA PRO is the only affordable vector network analyser (VNA) I know of that offers remote wireless operation. This is very interesting because it allows to measure the input impedance of HF antennas installed at height without having to deal with coax cable lengths, baluns nor common mode suppression chokes. However, to render the miniVNA PRO truly field proof, it requires a number of significant modifications.
