|
GENERAL
 | Linear permeability tuned VF0 with 1 kc
dial divisions. |
 | VF0 and crystal frequencies pre-mixed
for all-band stability |
 | Covers ham bands 80, 40, 20, 15 meters
completely and 28.5 to 29.0 Mc of 10 meters with crystals furnished |
 | Any fifteen 500 KHz ranges between 1.5
and 30 Mc can be covered with accessory crystals for 180 meters, MARS,
etc.(5.0-6.0 Mc not recommended) |
 | Electronic passband tuning gives
sideband without retuning |
 | Accessory Noise blanker
operates on CW, SSB, and AM |
 | Notch filter
and 25 Kc crystal calibrator are built-in |
 | Product detector
for SSB/CW, diode detector for AM |
 | a Crystal Lattice Filter gives superior
shape factor and ultimate selectivity for better adjacent channel
rejection |
 | Solid State Permeability Tuned VFO |
 | Three AGC release times, two for SSB and
AM plus fast break-in CW. Also AGC off. |
 | 10 tubes,
10 transistors, 17 diodes and 2 integrated circuits |
 | Excellent Overload and
Cross Modulation characteristic |
SPECIFICATIONS
 | Frequency
Coverage : Covers 3.5 to 4.0 MHz, 7.0 to 7.5 MHz, 14.0 to 14.5
MHz, 21.0 to 21.5 MHz, and 28.5 to 29.0 MHz. |
 | Accessory Coverage: 15 accessory
crystal sockets are provided. Coverage of any additional 500 kHz
ranges between 1.5 and 30 MHz (except between 5.0 and 6.0 MHz) can be
added by installing accessory crystals. |
 | Modes of Operation: SSB, CW, AM,
RTTY. |
 | Sensitivity: SSB Mode: 10 dB
signal-plus-noise to noise ratio obtained on 80 M-10 M amateur bands
with less than a 0.25 microvolt signal on the antenna terminal, on
other frequencies less than 0.5 microvolt signal. |
 | Selectivity:
 | As supplied:
 | SSB Mode: 2.4 kHz at 6 dB, 4.2
kHz at 60 dB. |
 | AM Mode: 8.0 kHz at 6 dB, 28 kHz
at 60 dB. |
|
 | With accessory crystal filters:
 | AM Mode, 2 filters available:
 | 6.0 kHz at 6 dB, 10 kHz at
60 dB. |
 | 4.0 kHz at 6 dB, 7.5 kHz at
60 dB. |
|
 | CW 1.5, CW .5, CW .25 5 Modes, 3
filters available:
 | 1.5 kHz at 6 dB, 3.0 kHz at
60 dB. |
 | 500 Hz at 6 dB, 1000 Hz at
60 dB. |
 | 250 Hz at 6 dB, 600 Hz at 60
dB. |
|
|
|
 | Stability : After warm up,
frequency will not drift more than +- 100 Hz, including voltage
variation of +- 10%. |
 | Calibration: Better than +- 1 kHz
when calibrated at nearest 100 kHz calibration point. |
 | Spurious Responses: Internal
spurious response less than the equivalent of a 1 microvolt antenna
signal on all amateur bands. |

to speaker, or headphones, 3000 Ohms anti VOX. |
 | Audio Output: 0.7 Watt at AVC
threshold, 2 Watts maximum at less than 5% T.H.D. |
 | AGC: Audio Output increases 3 dB
maximum for a RF input increase of 100 dB above AGC threshold. AGC
threshold typically 1 microvolt.
 | Attack time: 1 millisecond |
 | Release times:
 | Slow: 1 second |
 | Medium: 350 mSec |
 | Fast: 50 mSec |
