Lawmate SAW filter upgrade

Written by

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

The lawmate receiver is nice and compact…

The underside of the pcb.

lmsaw3
The topside. Notice the 90° pin-header solution.

lmsaw4
Desolder the case.

lmsaw5
Desolder the pin-headers.

lmsaw6
The old filter. F480-2.

lmsaw7
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.
