[600MRG] How to Convert your BC-453 to 166 kHz.

[Paul Signorelli]

If you have not been able to receive my 166.666 kHz beacon because you don't have a LF receiver,

Here is how you can convert your BC-453 to 166 kHz.

Just parallel  a 480 pF capacitor across each of the 3 main variable capacitor sections.

You need 3 caps.

That will place the BC-453 on 166.6 kHz with a dial reading of 480 kHz.

Of course it is not stable enough for data modes.

The resulting tuning range is about 140 to 175 kHz, Lots of band spread.

W7EKB, Ken, is probably the only one around who has a BC-453.
