THE SWAN SW-240
The Swan SW-240 is one of my
favorite rigs, with 3 bands including
75m, 40m, and 20m, it packages the
three monobanders into one unit.
Furnished with the mobile mounting
bracket, it makes for an easy to use
base / portable / mobile radio.
POWER INPUT:
Single Sideband 240 watts PEP
with 800 VDC power supply
CW 200 watts DC input
AM (single sideband with
carrier) approx. 60 watts input
METHOD OF GENERATING
SSB:
High frequency crystal filter
centering at 5174.5 kc. Single
conversion employed in both
transmit and receive. Bandwidth is 3 kc nominal at 6 db down, both transmit and receive.
UNWANTED SIDEBAND SUPPRESSION:
Approximately 40 db.

CARRIER SUPPRESSION:
Approximately 50 db.
TRANSMITTER OUTPUT IMPEDANCE:
Pi-network output matches antennas essencially resistive at 20 to 300 ohms impedance.
RECEIVER SENSITIVITY:
Less than 1 microvolt at 50 ohms input impedance for a signal-plus-noise to noise ratio of 10 db.
AUDIO RESPONSE:
Essencially flat 300 to 3000 cps on both transmit and receive.
RECEIVER OUTPUT:
3 watts audio at 3.2 ohms.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS:
