The converter receives from 0 through 550kHz. It provides the fixed output on 5695kHz.
FT-897D serves as a non-tuned IF stage.
The converter is built into the MGE 2208 box.
There is the mains switch in the top left corner, two buttons placed below the LCD display (labeled by the bottom line of the LCD) and finally the large tuning knob on the right.
The converter is controlled by the sophisticated menu system.
