Hi Fred
CX6DD use one of California Amplifier. See please his page for description
http://chasque.chasque.apc.org/franky/mmdseng.htm
In Brazil PY6ASV is using the model 130-194 of California Amplifier:
http://www.calamp.com/ . He has bypassed the output IF filter and receive
at 122 MHz. The next pass is to change the crystal to bring the
downconverted frequency to the range of 145-146 MHz.
