TRANSISTORIZED BASE STATION WITH VARIABLE OUTPUT LEVEL

The Model 444T is specifically designed for Citizens

Band applications.
Features:

1.

A Built-in, Two-transistor Preamplifier-with volume
control (red knob) to give variable high output from
the microphone-has self-contained battery.

2.

High Output Level to Maintain Maximum Modula­tion.

3.

Response for Single Sideband Transmission.

4. Finger-Tip Control Bar

5.

Long-Life Switch.

6.

Adjustable Microphone Height.

7.

A Sturdy, High Impact "Armo-Dur@" Base and Case.

8.

Dependability - under all operating conditions.

Connections: Figure B shows internal wiring of the

The Model 444T may be connected to an amplifier of

1,000

ohms input impedance or more. In this case the
white ("hot") lead and shield conductors are con­nected to the microphone circuit. The black and red
conductor are used to control an external relay or
control circuit. The microphone as furnished is wired
for normal relay type switching. To modify for isolated
relay type or electronic type switching, remove bottom
plate from microphone base and proceed as follows:

-For isolated relay switching, clip the
from the switch to the transistor preamplifier
board.

-For electronic

Press-to-Talk Switch Operation: The Finger-Tip Con­trol Bar can be used in a locking or non-locking switch
action. To use as a non-locking switch, simply depress
the Control Bar and release after transmission. To
use as a locking switch, depress the Control Bar, move
forward by pulling with the finger tips; to unlock
switch, move Control Bar in a backward direction and
remove pressure from the bar.

Important: Shure Microphone Cables are selected
after exhaustive tests to insure superior performance
in microphones because of low capacities, superior
shielding properties and unusually long life under
severe use.

Cables with plastic insulation should not be sub­jected to excessive soldering-iron heat. Carefully clean
and tin the conductors and the connections to which
the conductors are to be. soldered. The solderina
operation can then be done with a minimum of
thereby avoiding any possibility of damage to the
cable.

To install battery proceed as follows:

1.

Loosen two screws (located underneath base) hold­ing battery retaining clip.

2.

Remove battery-clip assembly.

3.

Connect terminal strap to battery and insert battery
into retaining clip.

4.

Reassemble battery-clip assembly into microphone
and tighten screws securely.
