Philips PRM80 (E-band) Conversion Mods for 6 metre Amateur band

Created 28th November 2007 - updated 14th December, 2012

 Modifications to an Philips model PRM-80 to convert its operation from commercial VHF low band (70-85 MHz) to 6 metre Amateur band
********************************************************************************************************************

The Philips PRM80 E banders. There are several versions apparently.

The prm8010,8020 is not a simple re-program and a tweak

If you program 53Mhz into an 8010 with the modified fpp software it will run at around 73Mhz.

It is a major piece of modification and the insertion of an 8mhz reference crystal.

The prm8025 and 8030 can be done with either an 8mhz rock or new firmware and the same RF modifications as the 8010

Approx 11 coils need re-winding and about 14 caps require changing.
