OPERATION

The

block

diagram

and

the

circuit

description

pro-

vides

you

with

a

better

understanding

of

this

transceiver.

The

transceiver

consists

of

a

double-conversion

receiver

and

a

double-conversion

exciter-transmitter.

Receiver

and

transmitter

circuits

use

common

oscillators,

common

crys-

tal

filter,

and

common

IF

stages.

The

low

frequency

IF

is

3,180

KHz.

The

high

frequency

IF

is

pass

band

tuned

to

cover

5,520

to

6,020

KHz.

RECEIVER

CIRCUIT:

A

signal

from

the

antenna

passes

through

the

antenna

relay

and

trap

coil,

(tuned

to

5,770

KHz),

then

to

the

tuned

circuit

and

is

applied

to

the

grid

of

the

RF

ampli-

fier,

УІ,

6BZ6.

;

The

high

frequency

oscillator

injection

signalis

also

fed

to

the

cathode

of

the

first

mixer

from

the

local

oscillator

V2,

6BA6.

The

product

of

the

first

mixer

is

applied

from

the

plate

of

the

tube

to

the

high

IF

pass

band

transformer.

Output

of

this

transformer

(5,520

to

6,020

KHz)

is

ap-

plied

to

the

grid

of

the

second

receiver

mixer,

V203,

6BE6.

When

the

signal

is

applied

to

the

grid

of

V203,

and

the

VFO

injection

signal

is

applied

to

another

grid

of

the

tube,

the

3,180

KHz

difference

product

is

fed

from

the

V203

plate

circuit

to

the

Noise

Blanker

Unit.

The

output

from

V203

is

fed

to

the

base

of

the

IF

amplifier

TR351,

2SC711

and

the

base

of

the

noise

amp-

lifier

TR352,

2SC711.

The

output

from

TR351

is

fed

to

the

crystal

filter

through

the

noise

blanker

diodes

D351

and

D352,

1S1007.

The

diodes

disconnect

the

input

of

the

crystel

filter

each

time

there

is

noise

pulse.

The

diode

switch

is

driven

by

TR354.

The

switching

level

is

adjusted

by

the

noise

blanker

threshold

control

VR351.

D1301

through

D1304

are

diode

switches

which

select

the

crystal

filter

for

SSB

or

CW

operation.

The

600Hz

CW

filter

XF-31C

is

an

optinal

feature

available

at

additional

cost

from

your

dealer.

The

diode

|

switch

selects

the

CW

filter

automatically

when

the

MODE

switch

is

set

to

CW

position.

The

output

from

the

filter

is

applied

to

the

grid

of

the

first

IF

amplifier,

V204,

6BZ6.

The

signal

is

amplified

by

V204

and

V205

and

applied

through

T205

to

the

AGC

rectifier

diodes,

and

the

grid

of

product

detector

V213,

12AU7.

The

beat-frequency

oscillator

signal

which

is

generated

in

V206,

12AU7

is

applied

to

the

cathode

of

V213,

12AU7

and

the

result

is

the

detected

audio

signal.

Output

of

the

AGC

rectifier

circuit

is

applied

to

the

grid

circuit

of

the

RF

amplifier

tube

and

IF

amplifier

tubes

to

control

the

gain

of

the

receiver

automatically

and

prevent

overload-

ing.

Output

from

the

product

detector

is

applied

to

the

noise

limiter

circuit

by

a

switch

on

the

front

panel.

Output

from

the

noise

limiter

circuit

is

applied

through

the

AF

GAIN

control,

VR9,

to

the

grid

of

the

first

AF

amplifier

tube,

triode

section

of

V210,

6BM8.

Amplified

audio

output

of

the

triode

section

is

coupled

to

the

grid

of

the

AF

output

amplifier,

pentode

section

of

V210,

which

drives

the

output

transformer

T1.

TRANSMITTER

CIRCUIT:

The

microphone

input

is

connected

to

the

grid

of

the

first

microphone

amplifier

V208A,

12AX7,

and

then

coupled

to

the

grid

of

the

second

amplifier,

V208B,

the

other

half

of

the

tube.

Output

from

V208B

is

coupled

to

the

beam

deflection

electrode

of

У207,

7360,

through

the

MIC

GAIN

control,

VR-6.

In

the

CW/TUNE

position

of

the

MODE

switch,

out-

put

from

the

tone

oscillator,

V212,

6U8,

is

fed

to

the

grid

of

the

receiver

power

amplifier

tube,

У210.

The

carrier

signal

generated

in

V206,

12AU7,

is

fed

to

the

control

grid

of

V207.

Output

from

the

balanced

modulator

V207

coupled

to

the

grid

of

the

IF

amplifier,

У204,

6BZ6,

through

the

crystal

filter,

XF-201

of

which

the

passband

is

centered

at

3,180

KHz.

This

passes

either

the

upper

or

lower

sideband,

depending

upon

the

sideband

selected

when

the

MODE

switch

is

set

to

carrier

crystal

X201

or

X202.

The

output

from

the

IF

amplifier

is

fed

through

T204

to

the

grid

of

transmitter

VFO

mixer,

V201,

6CB6.

The

plate

circuit

of

the

first

mixer

is

connected

to

the

pass-

band

tuning

transformer

BPF5,

and

converts

the

3,180

KHz

sideband

signal

to

a

5,520

to

6,020

KHz

single

side-

band

signal.

The

passband

tuning

is

so

designed

that

it

provides

excellent

spurious

reduction.

The

output

signal

from

the

passband

network

is

fed

to

the

grid

of

the

second

mixer,

V3,

6AH6,

and

the

high

frequency

injection

signal

from

crystal

oscillator,

V2,

6BA6

is

also

fed

to

the

grid

of

V3.

This

arrangement

converts

the

IF

signal

to

the

de-

sired

transmitting

frequency.

Output

from

the

second

mixer

is

fed

through

a

tuned

circuit

to

the

grid

of

the

driver

tube,

V4,

6GK6

and

amplified

to

a

level

sufficient

todrive

the

final

linear

amplifier,

V5

and

V6,

6KD6s.

Final

output

from

V5

and

V6

is

fed

to

a

pi-section

network

consisting

of

L15

and

PLATE

and

LOAD

capa-

citors.

А

section

of

the

bandswitch

adjusts

the

inductance

of

L15

to

the

correct

value

for

each

band,

and

adds

fixed

amounts

of

capacity

to

the

PLATE

and

LOAD

capacitor

on

the

lower

bands.

Output

from

the

pi-network

is

fed

to

the

antenna

through

the

contacts

of

the

antenna

relay.

Both

the

driver

and

final

stages

are

neutralized

to

ensure

stability.

А

section

of

the

band

switch

selects

the

capa-

citors

to

the

corerct

value

for

perfect

neutralization

on

each

band.

The

ALC

circuit

is

placed

in

the

grid

circuit

of

the

final

tubes.

When

RF

driving

voltage

to

the

final

tubes

becomes

sufficient

to

drive

the

grids

positive,

the

grids

begin

to

draw

current

and

the

signal

is

detected.

This

produces

an

audio

envelope.

The

audio

is

then

rectified.

by

the

ALC

rectifier,

which

in

turn

produces

a

negative

DC

voltage.

The

voltage

is

filtered

by

C61

and

R-29,

which

also

determines

the

time

constant,

and

controls

the

gain

of

V204.

This

system

allows

a

high

average

of

modulation

without

increased

distortion.

The

output

voltage

from

the

second

microphone

am-

plifier,

V208,

is

coupled

through

the

VOX

GAIN

control

to

the

grid

of

V209A,

12AT7,

and

fed

to

the

VOX

recti-

fier.

The

positive

DC

output

voltage

of

the

VOX

rectifier

is

applied

to

the

grid

of

VOX

relay

amplifier

tube,

У209В,

12AT7,

causing

it

to

conduct

current

and

actuate

the

VOX

relay

RL1.

The

relay

tube

is

so

biased

that

the

relay

is

actuated

by

the

VOX

GAIN

switch

in

the

MOX

position.

The

ANTITRIP

circuit

provides

a

threshold

voltage

to

prevent

the

loud

speaker

output

from

tripping

the

transceiver

into

the

transmit

function.

The

receiver

output

voltage

is

connected

through

output

voltage

from

the

ANTITRIP

rectifier,

connected

to

the

grid

of

the

VOX

tube

V209B,

12AT7,

provides

the

necessary

antitrip

threshold.

ANTITRIP

control

VR8

adjusts

the

value

of

the

antitrip

voltage

threshold

so

that

the

loudspeaker

out-

put

will

not

produce

too

much

positive

DC

output

from

the

VOX

rectifier

so

as

to

exceed

the

negative

DC

output

from

the

antitrip

rectifier

and

cause

V209B

to

actuate

the

relay.

However,

the

microphone

input

will

cause

the

positive

voltage

to

overcome

the

negative

voltage

and

actuate

the

relay.

VR13

provides

coarse

adjustment

for

relay

tube

sensitivity.

Relay

hold time

will

be

determined

by

DELAY

con-

trol,

located

on

INSTALLATION

It

is

recommended

that

an

excessively

warm

location

be

avoided.

The

transceiver

should

be

placed

in

a

loca-

tion

that

has

adequate

space

to

permit

free

air

circulati-

on

through

the

cabinet

openings.

І

Тһе

transceiver

should

Бе

connected

to

а

good

ground

by

a

heavy

lead

to

the

terminal

marked

GND

on

rear

apron

of

the

chassis.

It

is

not

recommended

that

a

gas

pipe

or

electrical

conduit

pipes

be

used.

The

ground

lead

should

be

as

short

as

possible.

Impedance

of

the

antenna

is

designed

to

match

a

50

to

120

ohm

load.

Most

commercial

antenna

and

feeders

are

designed

between

50

and

75

ohms.

If

the

impedance

is

far

from

this

value,

an

antenna

matching

device

should

be

placed

between

the

antenna

terminal

and

the

feeder.

OPERATION

INITIAL

CHECK

Prior

to

connecting

the
