TV tuner 45MHz to 10.7 MHz or 455KC IF module was Re: FW: [Discuss-gnuradio] MicroTune Tuners

[tongaloa]

Don't know if these will be useful or not.
Bandwidth is not there for TV.

I bought a bunch for a weather satellite receiver project that
has been slow in coming together (too many projects)

Have some IF modules that might be useful with the 45MHz out TV
tuners...

They are made for approx. 30kHz wide FM but you could always
grab the 10.7MHz before or after the filter...

Photos and documentation at.

Thumbnails to hires select 'original' to read.
Sorry for jpeg artifacts...but they are readable...

$10 for two incl postage for USA
$13 for two, incl postage for outside USA (unless you live
somewhere that require my filling out a load of paperwork)
