SPECIFICATIONS.

Frequency Range: 7.2 to 7.35 Mhz

High Frequency crystal lattice filter, 3Kc nominal bandwidth. Unwanted sideband down approximatly 40 db. Carrier suppression approximately 50 db. Receiver selectivity also determined by crystal filter.

Receiver sensitivity less than 1 microvolt at 50 ohms input impedence for signal-plus-noise / noise ratio of 6 db.

Transmits automatically on receiving frequency.

Mechanical, electrical, and thermal stability exeptionally high. Oscillators are voltage regulated and temperature compensated.

Controls include: Main tuning, Volume, Carrier Balance, Mic. Gain, Exiter Tuning, P.A. Tune, P.A. Load, T-R Switch, Supply On-Off Switch, and Tune Switch.

Microphone Jack (1/4") provides for push-to-talk operation. Transmits on AM, (single sideband with carrier) with carrier power of approximatly 25 watts.

Audio response essentially flat from 300 to 3000 cycles on both receive and transmit.

Meter reads P.A. cathode current, 300 ma. full scale. Size: 13 1/4" wide, 5 5/8" high, 11" deep.
