SPECIFICATIONS

bulletFREQUENCY COVERAGE: 3.5-4.0 MC, 7.0-7.5 Mc, 14.0-14.5, 21.0-21.5, and 28.5-29.0 MC with crystals supplied
bulletFREQUENCY ACCESSORY: Ten accessory crystal sockets are provided for coverage of any 10 additional 500 KC ranges between 1.5 and 30 MC with the exception of 5,0 - 6.0 MC.
bulletSELECTIVITY: Drake tunable pass band filter provides:
bullet0.4 KC at 6 DB down and 2.6 KC at 60 DB down
bullet1.2 KC at 6 DB down and 4.8 KC at 60 DB down
bullet2.4 KC at 6 DB down and 8.2 KC at 60 DB down
bullet4.8 KC at 6 DB down and 20 KC at 60 DB down

bulletSTABILITY: Less than 100 cycles after warm up. Less than 100 cycles for 10% line voltage change .
bulletSENSITIVITY: Less than .5 uv for 10 DB signal plus noise to noise on all amateur bands.
bulletMODES OF OPERATION: SSB, CW, AM, RTTY
bulletDIAL CALIBRATION: Main dial calibrated 0 to 500 KC and 500 to 1000 KC in 5 KC divisions. Vernier dial calibrated 0 to 25 KC in 1 KC divisions.
bulletCALIBRATION ACCURACY: Better than 1 KC when calibrated at nearest 100 KC point.
bulletAVC: Amplified delayed AVC having 
bullet slow (. 75 sec.) or 
bullet fast (. 025 sec.)discharge; less than 100 microsecond charge. 
bullet AVC can also be switched off. 3 DB change in AF output with 60 DB change in RF input.
bulletAUDIO OUTPUT: 1.4 watts max. and .5 watts at AVC threshold.
bulletAUDIO OUTPUT IMPEDANCE: 4 ohms and hi impedance for anti-vox.
bulletANTENNA INPUT: Nominal 52 ohms.
bulletSPURIOUS RESPONSES: Image rejection more than 60 DB. I. F. rejection more than 60 DB on ham ranges. Internal spurious responses in ham ranges less than the equivalent 1 uv signal on the antenna.
