FM Band notch filter with coax cable

Image
Usually the case is that we are close to a radio station transmitter(for repeaters) transmitting with some kilowatts, or near an airport and this is causing problems!!! In such case you need to have a filter cutting out these bands. The filter described here is for the VHF Band (2m) and it is really easy to construct. You will need the following: Notch filter block diagram Coax cable (good quality LMR-240,400,600) T connector ,bnc or n-type Signal generator & spectrum analyzer so you can tune your filter to the desired frequency A plastic electrical box to use it as enclosure (if you wish) I personally wanted to create a Notch Filter for a near by Radio Station that transmits on 94.5Mhz. So after some quick calculations: The Wavelength of 94.5Mhz is 3.17m LMR-240 VF = 0.84 So for the 1/4λ coax stub: 1/4*3.17*0.84 =  0.6657m = 66.57cm For the 1/2λ coax section between the 2 stubs: 1/2*3.17*0.84 = 133.14cm = 1.33m Personally i constructed a one st...

TYT MD-398 Review

For some people that think that there might be a solution to the one time slot thing, there is not!!! This radio only trasmit in one time slot TS2. You cannot use it on a repeater because you will produce a mess!!! Finally this radio is not support by the DMR community so you will not find information nowhere. Even TYT says do not buy this radio if you are an amateu...
