144MHZ - 146MHZ RECEIVER




2m 144MHZ - 146MHZ RECEIVER  

                        Her I am use MC3357 / LA1186  in this 2m Receiver  
 This experiment was done when I was a SWL lesson 145.625MHz Repeater / 145.650MHz Repeater  59 Signal Repot With my Home brew ground plan Antenna 10 feet height  Excellent Sensitivity without preamp . Local osc are very stable when I on Rx 2min in drift +- 50 kHz and get very stable in 24 hrs.
This Receiver good perform for SWL / Ham operators / Monitor 2m band.


MC3357 DESCRIPTION


Includes Oscillator, Mixer, Limiting Amplifier, Quadrature Discriminator,
Active Filter, Squelch, Scan Control, and Mute Switch.
• Excellent Sensitivity: Input Limiting Voltage – (– 3.0 dB) = 5.0 mV (Typical)
• Low Number of External Parts Required

LA1186 Features and Functions




• Contains RF amplifier, MIX, OSC, AFC diode
• Operating voltage: 1.8 to 8.0V.
• Improvement in cross modulation characteristic due to the use of double-balanced MIX.
• Improvement in strong input characteristic.
• Less spurious radiation from local OSC.
• TV (1 to 12 channel) receive capability.

    "The 1st IF is fed to the Motorola MC3361 IC which is having Dual IF stages. By using a 10.245MHz crystal at the oscillator of this IC, the incoming 10.7MHz signal is converted to 455KHz. (MC3357 can also be used. But I found that MC3361 is twice as sensitive than MC3357 and has less external parts)"

    I designed this tested and published on RSSL News letter as well. Many HAMs started building this later on and found that this combination is superb and low cost. I'm happy that you have built this and enjoying it. Must congratulate on your presentation of the project
