The amplifier gain associated with the FT 1000MP/MV roofing filters has
proven to be correct for that radio and that filter. The filters for the
IC-775/765 radios are coming through with less insertion loss, so the
amplifier gain may be a bit high. I don't have any lab data on this as the
borrowed IC 775 is long gone. The filters I am presently experimenting with
for the TS-930 also have less loss and the amplifier will be changed for
these radios. If you feel the gain is too high in your radio for some
reason, it can be reduced by changing two resistors. Both must be changed
in order to keep the impedance match correct.
Gain R5 R6
9dB 12 220
6 15 150
4 18 120
Please send me some feedback on any changes made and the effects on
performance.
