1.3GHz Transmitters
Television transmitters for use in the 1.3GHZ band usually generate their frequencies directly at the desired output frequency. One of the most common designs is made available from the Worthing and district video repeater group. The design that they continue to market and support was designed by Alan Latham G8CMQ he ran a company called Solent Scientific. This design has been available for a number of years and offers good value for money, you can also add on a 2-channel phase locked loop. This addition allows you to have two xtal-controlled channels. Most local amateurs have one of these as the repeater input frequency say 1249mhz and one as a simplex frequency such as 1255mhz for local working. Construction at these frequencies can be a little tricky for the beginner, but most groups have someone available to offer help and assistance. The BATC also sell a PCB for construction of your own transmitting equipment, a full kit is available from Mainline Electronics of Leicester.
