2. Crystal X1 is fundamental mode, calibrated for parallel resonance with a 32 pF load. The final output frequency is generated by frequency multiplication within
2. the MC2833 IC. The RF output buffer (Pin 14) and Q2 transistor are used as a frequency tripler and doubler, respectively, in the 76 and 144.6 MHz transmitters.
2. The Q1 output transistor is a linear amplifier in the 49.7 MHz and 76 MHz transmitters, and a frequency doubler in the 144.6 MHz transmitter.
3. All coils used are 7 mm shielded inductors, CoilCraft series M1175A, M1282A–M1289A, M1312A or equivalent.
4. Power output is ≈ + 10 dBm for 49.7 MHz and 76 MHz transmitters, and ≈ + 5.0 dBm for the 144.6 MHz transmitter at VCC = 8.0 V. Power output drops with
4. lower VCC.
5. All capacitors in microfarads, inductors in Henries and resistors in Ohms unless otherwise specified.
6. Other frequency combinations may be set–up by simple scaling of the 3 examples shown.
