1GHz reciever

[PDRUNEN]

Hi again all,

Thanks for the input on the Colpitt.

Maybe someone can answer another question, I understand that the reciever for
the DirectTV box is around 1GHz, the 12GHz from the disk is down converted to
this range so that the loss in the cable can be less.

I have seen a few of the receivers around the yard sales for 5 bucks or less.

I was considering getting one and see what I could do to make it usable at
around 915MHz. I also understand that voltage is on the cable and this could
be used to power a rf amp at the antenna end.

Has anyone here opened the receiver box up to see what under the hood?

Thanks!

Paul
