INTRODUCTION.

The

Halli

cr

afte

r s

Model

HT-40

MK1

or

HT-40K

MK1

kit

is

a

four-tube,

self-contained

tr

a

nsmitter

capable

of

AM

(amplitude

modu-

l

ated)

and

CW

(continuous

wave)

transmission

on

the

80,

40,

20,

15,

10,

and

6

meter

bands.

The

on

ly r

equirements

for

immediate

"on-the-

a

ir

"

opera

ti

on

are

a

50-ohm

to

75-ohm

termi-

nated

antenna,

a

crystal

or

external

VFO,

a

key

or

microphone

and

a

o

lt,

60-CPS,

AC

power

source

.

T.V.I.

SUPPRESSION.

The

transmitter

has

been

designed

and

con

-

structed

to

suppress

spurious

radiati

o

ns

that

may

ca

use

television

interference

(T.V.I.).

The

T.V.1.

problem

has

been

given

full

consideration

in

the

c

ircuit

design

and

in

the

selection

and

layout

of

parts.

Adequate

filtering

has

been

provided

for

con

tr

ol

c

ir

cui

ts

and

AC

power

lines.

Components

were

specifically

selected

to

avoid

undesired

re-

sonances

and

arranged

to

prevent

parasitic

os

-

cillation.

Another

important

T.V.1.

proofing

feature

is

employed

in

the

output

coup

lin

g

ci

r

cuit

to

the

final

amplifier.

The

tuned

output

ci

r

cu

it

is

a

pi

network

which

has

excellent

inherent

harm

onic

suppression

capabi

lit

y.

The

pi

network

is

con-

nected

to

a

coaxia

l

connector

and

permits

the

use

of

all

antenna

systems

having

an

impedance

of

50

ohms

to

75

ohms.

The

transmitter,

as

re

c

eived

from

the

f

ac

-

tory,

has

every

advantage

of

Ha

lli

crafters

ad-

vanced

engineering

to

minimize

television

inter-

ference.

Ther

e

are,

however,

some

types

of

T.

V.l.

which

cannot

be

prevented

within

the

transmitter

itse

lf.

Therefore,

it

is

recommended

that,

for

maximum

T.

V.1.

free

operation

of

your

trans-

mitter,

a low

-pass

filter

be

installed

between

the

transmitter

o

utput

connecto

r

and

the

coaxia

l

antenna

feed

line.

frequency.

However,

this

does

not

mean

that

the

transmitter

may

be

opera-

ted

successfully

when only

rough

tuning

adjust-

ments

are

made.

A

clean

signal

from

any

trans-

mitter

requires

good

operating

technique.

SECTION

V

THEORY

OF

OPERATION

5-1.

GENERAL.

The

transmitter

utilizes

a

built-in

oscillator

circuit

or

external

VFO

for

generating

the

desired

fundamental

Signal

that

is

to

be

amplified

straight

through,

or

operated

as

a

harmonic

generator

to

produce

the

desired

output

frequency

on

each

band.

Circuits

are

employed

in

the

transmitter

to

permit

operation

at

any

desired

frequency

in

the

80,

40,

20 15 10 and 6

meter

bands

on

CW

(continuous

, , , . .

wave)

or

AM

(amplitude modulation).

Screen

1OJec-

tion

or

carrier

control

modulation

is

employed

for

phone

transmission.

5-2.

CRYSTAL-OSCILLATOR.

The

triode

section

of

VI

(6CX8)

is

used

in

a

modified

Pierce

Type of

crystal

oscillator

circuit.

In

this

circuit

feedback

energy

is

fed

from

the

plate

to

the

grid

by

means

of a 5000

mmf

capacitor

in

series

with

the

crystal.

The

grid

circuit

ele-

ments

consist

of a

lOOK

ohm

grid

return

resistor

shunted

by a

50

mmf

capacitor

loading

capacity.

The

plate

circuit

utilizes

a 2.5

MH

choke

as

a

com-

mon

fixed

plate

load

for

all

frequencies

of

opera-

tion. Coupling

from

the

oscillator

plate

to

buffer

grid

is

accomplished

with

a

50

mmf

capacitor.

When

operating

the

transmitter

with

exter-

nal

VFO,

the

crystal

is

removed

from

the

jacks

and the VFO

output

terminals

are

connect~d

to the

jacks.

The high

side

ofthe VFO

output

IS

connected

through

the

red

jack

to the

grid

of V1B

(6CX8) and

the

ground

side

of

the

VFO

output

is

connected

through

the

black

jack

and

switch

Sl

in

the VFO

position

to

RF

ground. When

Sl

is

in

the

VFO

position,

the

triode

section

(VIA)

is

switched

to STANDBY and

does

not

operate.

5-3.

BUFFER-MULTIPLIER.

The pentode

section

of

VI

(6CX8)

is

operated

as

a

buffer

multiplier.

The

signals

are

fed

from

the

oscillator

circuit

to

the

grid

ofthe

buffer

and

amp-

lified

or

multiplied

by

this

stage

operating

in

class

C. The

buffer

plate

load

consists

of a

shunt

fed

100

UH

choke

coupled

to

the

grid

ofthe

final

amplifier

tube

V2

(6DQ5) by

means

of a

pi

network

with

sep-

arate

inductances

for

each

band.

The

network

in-

put

is

tuned

with

the DRIVE

capacitor

and

the

net-

work

output

is

terminated

with a 9

mmf

capacitor

connected

to

the

6DQ5

grid

circuit.

Because

ofthe

proper

selection

of

coils

in

each

band,

it

is

impos-

sible

to tune to a

harmonic

of

the

output

frequency

with the DRIVE

capacitor.

This

reduces

the

possi-

bility

of

undesirable

signals

being

fed

to

the

~

tenna

and

keeps

television

interference

to a

m1O-

imum.

5-4.

FINAL

AMPLIFIER

STAGE.

The

final

amplifier

stage,

utilizing

a 6DQ5

beam

powered

pentode

tube,

operates

as

a

straight

through

amplifier

on the 80

through

10

meter

bands

and

as

a

frequency

doubler

on

the

6

meter

band. The

final

amplifier

plate

load

consists

of a

shunt-fed

RF

choke

capacitively

coupled

to

the

pi

section

network. The input of the

network

is

tuned

with

the

PLATE

TUNING

capacitor,

and

is

termi-

nated

with the

PLATE

LOADING

capacitor

for

matching

the

plate

impedance

to

the

impedance

of

the antenna. A

tapped

coil

(L10)

isusedfor

the 80

through

10

meter

bands;

the 6

meter

band

uses

a

separate

coil

(L9)

connected

at

right

angles

to L10

so

that

a

minimum

of

mutual

inductance

exists

be-

tween

them.

A

sensitive

meter

(M1)

is

used

in

this

circuit

to

measure

grid

current

and

output

power.

5-5.

RF

OUTPUT-GRID

CURRENT

METER.

The

RF

OUTPUT-GRID

CURRENT

meter

is

a

basic

5

mil

movement

graduated

in

5

units

(0-5).

The

meter

and

its

circuitry

perform

two

important

functions:
