Today I changed the SAW filter on my Lawmate 1.2GHz receiver.

The lawmate receiver is nice and compact…

The underside of the pcb.

The topside. Notice the 90° pin-header solution.

Desolder the case.

Desolder the pin-headers.

The old filter. F480-2.

New narrow band filter D480A
The whole modification took about 30 minutes.
Here is a link to my guide on changing SAW filters in receivers.
I have one original lawmate receiver and one modified now. I’m going to compare them with similar antennas on my diversity switch and see which one performs the best.
