  I don't have either one of my 735's open and I can't seem to find the

precise location or information but roughly...



   There are two diodes, D30 &D31 (or maybe it's D32&D33 D34&D35 I can't

remember) located toward the front center of the board containing the

CPU. The diodes were end mounted with yellow insulation over the end of the

leads away from the board. Cutting these diodes out of the circuit enables

broadband transmit. My radios were purchased new in spring of 1989 so

I don't know if they acurately reflect current production units.

  This is a particularly nice feature since it allows wide coverage when

used with transverters. I use my 735's with my 144MHZ - 10.368 GHz transverters

with the radios operating in the 20-30 MHz region. It allows 10 MHz of

all-mode coverage on every vhf-uhf-uwave amateur band.

  I don't have anything explicitly written but it is very much along

  the lines of the microwave stuff I showed.



The LOs are partly there already:



Band       LO           circuit

50M     30M             3 X 10 (2n5179 tripler from 10M)

144     120M            I'm presently using the 100 MHz Xtal circuit

                        with a 120 M xtal but 6X20M with filtering

                        would work too.

220     200M            2X 100M  (single stage of 2n5179)

420     410/420         Just like 260M LO shown

900     620M            Like 1010M  6th harm of 100M and 20M PLL reference





Only 420 and 900 even need to use another of the PLL boards. The others

just take a single stage. I have 50,144 and 220 done. 400 is sitting

90% completed.  I have PA bricks for 50 and 400 waiting to be used.

As I said, 144 and 1296 have been running for years.



I build the RF decks in metal "shoeboxes". I pipe the LO and IF(with tx

switching as DC on the line) to each deck which lets me remote them

if I want to. The only thing I really need to add that I haven't is an

ALC line coming back from each PA to control the 735 so that I keep

things linear. Linearity hasn't been a problem but like any of the

current commercially available transverters it is possible to overdrive

things.



Hope this helps.
