Operational Overview:
The DEM 222-28 is a 222 MHz to 28 MHz transmit and receive converter. It will operate
with most High Frequency transceivers that are available on the market today. The 222-28 has a
linear output power of approximately 25 watts. At full compression, the output power may reach 35
watts, but would be recommended for CW or FM operation only. On the receive side, a GaAs-FET
preamplifier, a high level mixer (+17 dBm Local Oscillator), and a 3 chamber helical filter provide a
sensitive, yet over-load proof front end with superior out of band rejection. The DEM 222-28 has a
built in transmit / receive relay with provisions for external switching so that adding a high power
amplifier to your 222 MHz system is easy. Options have been provided for a key line input of PTT
Low (ground) or PTT High (+Voltage). Auxiliary contacts are included for either transmit or receive
with a common line for many applications. The 28 MHz IF levels are adjustable on both transmit
and receive and have a dynamic range of approximately 25dB. This is very useful for adjusting
your maximum output power and setting the "S" meter level on your IF receiver. IF connections
are via BNC connectors. The control, power, and auxiliary connections are via RCA jacks, and the
222 MHz connectors are BNC, UHF or Type 'N' (users choice). The 222-28 is housed in a 7.4" x
4.7" x 2.2" aluminum die cast enclosure with an external 7" x 4" x 3/4" heat sink to provide cool
operation under any condition.
This transverter, when assembled, has your requested options installed and will be
configured to your transceivers specifications. It is important to fully understand the functions of
your transceiver before interfacing the transverter. Please review your owners manual for any
details regarding transverter operation. If necessary, you may consult us regarding interfacing.
We have not interfaced every transceiver on the market, but could help you in making the correct
decision regarding yours.

  • Page 3 NOTE: Leaving Q4 connected to the shared pad will offer some minimal attenuation. If you find this level of attenuation un-acceptable, use solder wick and lift the Drain lead of Q4 up so it is disconnected from the circuit. /Built/222-28.doc Rev. H 10/11/2005...

  • Page 7 This option is used for common IF input for the 222-28 transverter. There are two versions of this option. It is a pin switch designed for High and Low Power. The Low Power version is used with a transceiver that has a less than 250 mW transverter port. If the transverter port has less than 0 dBm, the transverter will require the TXIF gain stage to be installed.
  • Page 8 All switching functions are controlled by a Signal to Ground or a +1.5-15VDC that is provided by a transceiver on transmit. The transverter is in RX mode during standby. Isolated auxiliary contacts are provided for switching external equipment such as mast mounted pre-amps, power-amps, or T/R switches. /Built/222-28.doc Rev. H 10/11/2005...
