SGC SG-2000 PA and Exciter Mods

Follow
W6EL

In this video, I detail some modifications for the SGC SG2000 HF SSB transceiver PA and Exciter circuits. These mods were necessary on my unit to obtain the full rated power output, operate stable on 60M (5 MHz), and to stay within emissions standards. I didn't do the mods live, instead, I experimented and then created this video after I settled on a final configuration.
