Symptom:
Transmitting on 18.1145 MHz causes a spur to appear at 18.1150 MHz with the antenna tuner on.
Corrective Action:
Add the low pass filter shown in the accompanying diagram to the input circuit of mixer Q41 on the IF unit (X48-3060-00). This filter will increase the attenuation by approximately 20 dB.
Parts required:
Qty Description New Part No. Circuit Description
1 220 µH inductor L40-2211-14 NA
1 220 pF chip capacitor CC73FSL1H221J NA
