140.000 MHz 4.24 dB -- 302.000 MHz 3.34 dB. We are going to install two 15nH Murata coils & two BFU550AR low noise transistors. Optionally, or in addition, we are going to spread 3 coils. This is NOT an original SATCOM Mod., this is an improved SATCOM Mod. by SergeyPRS_v2, link to Sergey's original post regarding this Mod. is down bellow.
Additionally, to your delight, we are going to do this simple Mod. using solder iron, so that you can do it yourself at home. So sit back, pop a cold one, and give me 20 minutes and I will explain and show you everything! Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon!

Parts list, links, information, response graph are in the description. This mod is really easy, you can do it yourself at home using soldering iron, I believe in you. Don't forget to hit that like button and subscribe, I have more great content coming on this radio!

a test with a signal generator would have been welcome after the modification...

@sergey9709 20 күн бұрын

This mod is based on "Перестройка преселектора р/ст Quansheng UV-K5 на Satcom" radiokot forum mod. With some improvements like low noise transistors and high Q coil. Please google it and insert link below video because i cant post it in comments.

The first blue coil you soldered, the solder pad on the right is soldered to the black chip next to it. Is that correct?

@codernov 16 күн бұрын

That "black chip" is zero Ohm resistor. Essentially you can put jumper instead of it. Signal goes through the coil, through that ZERO Ohm resistor and further. Yes, everything correct. Someone done a satcom mod and knock those parts out, so I measured, that's why I know their values.

Very nice. Is there a parts list somewhere which is not Telegram?

@@codernov Cheers. I managed to search them out on ali from the names. It has to be BFU550AR, and I can't use BFU550A? The A is much cheaper.

@codernov 23 күн бұрын

According to datasheet they are the same thing. Why are you searching names and stuff, I gave you link. You can also get them from mouser, farnell, digikey and the like. I'm pretty sure also amazon and eBay. Ali of course. For me ali is best, because it's cheaper.

Is it for SATCOM only? Any benefits for 2m?

@codernov 24 күн бұрын

This mod is tops from 140 all the way up to 302 MHz!! See response chart in the description, measurement is between antenna connector and transistor.

брат! откуда у тебя бензин калоша!! ))) я удивлен))) спасибо за хорошую инструкцию

How you doing Andrei. We speak here English so that the reach is GLOBAL. This is the reason all my videos are in English, plus the comments must also be in English, more or less. Benzin is bough at hardware store, most hardware stores carry it. Good luck.
