Receiver
Circuit: Single conversion to 9.00165MHz IF using double balanced mixer. Exceptional immunity to overload and cross modulation
Sensitivity: 0.35µV for 10dB S+N/N ratio
Image Rejection: Better than 60dB
Receiver Selectivity:
- SSB and CW - 2.4KHz, two 8 pole crystal filter with shape factor of of 1.4:1, 6dB to 100dB (16 pole equivalent)
- CWN and RTTY - 400Hz bandwidth. 6 pole crystal filter in series with one 9-pole SSB filter (optional)
Passband Tuning:
- SSB and CW - 8 pole continuously variable highpass or lowpass. LED readout shows approximate audio bandpass
- CWN and RTTY - 4 pole crystal filter continuously tunable over 300-3000Hz. LED shows approximate audio bandpass
Dynamic Range: AGC greater than 100dB; third order intercept +5dBm. (IMD products down 90dB at -40dBm input)
Audio Output Power: Greater than 3 watts into 4Ω
Meter: S units from 1 → 9 and 20, 40, 60 dB over S-9
Transmitter
Circuit Design: Conversion from 9.00165MHz IF. ALC limits SSB peak output power and CW power to 100 watts
Power Input: 235 watts PEP at 13.8 VDC supply
Power Output: 100 watts PEP into 50Ω non-reactive load at 13.8 VDC supply voltage. ALC limits peak power to 100 watts PEP
Unwanted Sideband Rejection: 60dB down at 1000Hz audio frequency
Harmonic Output: 45dB below peak power level
Carrier Suppression: 50dB below peak power level
Transmit Control:
- SSB - PTT or VOX standard
- CW - Full or Semi break-in with sidetone standard with an 800Hz offset on transmit frequency
Microphone Input: 47KΩ input impedance
Audio Response: 300 → 3000Hz ±6dB
Meter: Reads peak power on transmit selected by meter switch; forward power 100 watts full scale, reflected power 10 watts full scale, or ALC
Cooling: Large capacity heat sink fins supplied. For SSTV, RTTY, and semi continuous transmitting, forced air cooling supplied by a muffin type fan on heat sink fins is required
VSWR Shutdown:
- Full power up to VSWR of 1.7:1
- 80% at 2:1 VSWR
60% at 3:1 VSWR
