2. When
connecting
the BK cableand
othercables,referto Fig.3.3of Paragraph
3.3.
3. Whenthe transmitting wavesarestronglyinducedin the receivingantenna,take the counter-
measure
described
in Paragraph3.2.
4. Do not turn semifixed resistors,high frequency transformers, trimmer capacitors, etc.
mounted on the printed circuit board unlessabsolutely necessary,
because
they are all
preadjusted

1. GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The model NRD-91 Receiveris a highly reliable receiverwith the simple circuit com-
position, developed
by JRC based
on our many year'sexperimentand technicalresults.
PLL
syuthesizeris equipped in the first local oscillator to prvode the high accuracy of frequency
setting,so that this receiver
hasenoughperformances
for usein the SSBmode as a back-up
receiver.
1.1 FEATURES
I
) Provided
with digital
synthesizer
of PLL type
The reference
oscillator
with the highstability(t5 x l0-6ppm) ensures
highstabilityof
fiequencies
overa wide frequencyrange
for reception.
2) Wide
receivingfrequencyrange
Thisreceiver
covers
the wide receiving
frequencyrange
from 90 kHz to 29.9999MHz.
3) Digital
indication
of receiving
frequencies
This receiver is provided with light emitting diodes for a numerical display of the
receiving
frequency
from 100
Hz digit to l0 MHz digit.
Therefore,
the frequencycanbesetcorrectly.
4) BCband
rejector
BC bandrejector
reduces
theinterferences
such
as
cross-modulation
andintermodulation
due to the strong radio waveof the broadcasting
wavegenerating
during receivingthe
MHF radiowave.
5) Directlyconnected
to Teleprinter
andFAX
The line output terminal,
600St
0 dBm,isprovided.
By addingtheoptional crystal,FSk
or FAX canbereceived
in the AUX mode.
At thistime, the center
frequency
of the line
output is 1.7
kHz and l.9 kHz respectively.
6) Entirely modular
construction
The circuits are accomodated
in the plug-in type printed circuit boards(excluding the
panel
section
andpower
supply
unit). Thus,maintenance
andcheckare
facilitated.
1) Operable
on either
AC or DC power
The receiver
canbe operated
on AC or DC power
by changing
the powerswitch
on the
panel.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 INSTALLATION
(I
) Wheninstallingthe receiver
on the l9-inch standard
rack,
place
theguide
bolt provided
on the side
of the chassis
on the rails,
and pushthe receiver
to the inside
of the rack.
Then, flx the receiver
in positionby screwing
the 5-rnmscrews
through the mounting
holes
at two positions
of both left andright sides
of the front panel.
(2) Wheninstalling
the receiver
on the desk,
Llse
the special
cabinet
(optionally available
on
separateorder).
Attaclt the sliderails
(supplied
with the cabinet
case)onto left andright sides
of chassis
of thereceiver
andmount thereceiver
in the cabinet
case.
Fix thereceiver
to the cabinet
case
by screwing
the 5-mmscrews
through
four mountingholes
on the front panel.
3.2 ANTI-INDUCTION
OF THE TRANSMITTING
WAVE
Whenthe receiver
is operated
with a paired
transmitter,
it sometimes
happens
that the
transmitting
waveof own stationis
induced
in thereceiving
antenna.
When
the induction currentof the transmitting
wavesis I ampere
or less,
thereceiver
is
protectedby the built-in input protectivecircuit. But if the induction currentexceeds
I
anlpere,theinputcircuit
of thereceiver
maybe
burntout.
When
the receiving
antennasuf-fers
fiom such
an excessive
induction current,move
the
receiving
antenna
as
far as
possible
trom thetransmitting
antenna,or insert
the anti-inducer
in series

3.4 HOW TO MOUNT AUX CRYSTAL
By adding the crystal to the AUX mode position, the center frequency of the line
output canbe 1.7kHz in caseof FSK reception
and I.9
kHz in FAX reception
whensetting
the frequency indication on the panel to the wanted receiving frequency, and this line
output can be connectedto FS demodulator or FAX. The frequency of the crystal is
456.7
kHz in FSK reception
and 456.9kH2 in FAX reception.
Since
this receiver
hasone
AUX crystal
space,
one of FSK, FAX or otherdesirable
modeisavailable.
Please
inform us
of your desirable
modeor the frequencyof the crystalwhen ordering.
Mount the crystalaccordingto the following procedures.
I. Insertthe crystalinto AUX (X3) on CMH
-379 IF 2ndunit andsolderit.
2. Connect two holes(AUX) positionednear the connector(PlO) on the sameunit by
meansof the leadingwire.
3. Connect
the speakerand
turn on thepower.
If the beat sound comesout through the speakerwhen setting the mode to AUX, the
crystalismounted correctly.
Note) The beat sound can be easily known by comparing the noisein AUX mode
with the noise in DSB mode, becausethe noiseincreaseswhen changingthe
mode from DSBto AUX.

4.2.6 FurtherOperation
(
I
) Operation
of ATT.
The receivingantennacatches
many kinds of radio wave from the strong one to weak
one. If many strong waves arrive at the high frequency stage of the receiver,
interferencessuch as intermodulation, blocking, cross-modulationand so on arise,so
that sometimes
the desiredradio wavescannot bereceived
well. Also, when the partner
station is located very closeto your station, the sound is distorted because
the AGC
circuit cannot control such a strong radio wave. In sucha case,by setting J
,Â1T I to
N, the receiving
condition is greatly improved. If p meter deflects,
the desired
radio wave can be received even though l-AT1-l is set to trt. Especially, when
receivingthe radio wavebelow 1.6MHz, it is recommendedto alwaysset IATTI to
@ except
at the stand-bycondition.
(2) Operation
of BCBAND REJECT
While receiving
the MHF band (below 3 MHz), many other radio wavesmay bereceived
besidesthe radio wave of the desiredstation. Theseare called cross-modulationand
intermodulation interferencesdue to the strong radio wave of the broadcastingwave
(525 to 1605
kHz). In such a condition, by setting BC

5. CIRCUIT
DESCRIPTION
Refer to the annexed blockdiagram for the circuit composition of the receiver. This
receiver
is composed
of receiving,
localsignal
generator,
panel
andpower supply sections.
5.1 RECEIVING
SECTION
The receiving system is an up-conversiontype double-superheterodyne
with a first
intermediate frequency of 70.455MHz and a second
intermediate frequency of 455 kHz.
A signal frequency of 90 kHz to 29.9999MHz is supplied to the RF input filter after
passing
through the BK relay and the input protection circuit. The signalthus supplied
passes
through the 35 MHz LPF andis supplied
to oneof the sevenfilter circuits,depending
on the operatingfrequency.The signal
is then fed into the lst Mix. in whichthereceiving
signal is mixed with the first local signal of 70.545 to 100.4549
MHz and is thereby
convertedinto the first IF of 70.455MHz. The convertedoutput passes
through the crystal
filter with a center frequency of 70.455
MHz and a bandwidth of l2kHz, and then is
amplified by the lst IF AMP. Then the siganlis supplied to the 2nd IF in which the
amplified signalis mixed with the 2nd local frequency signalof 70 MHz and is thereby
convertedinto a 2nd IF of 455 kHz. The converted
output passes
through oneselected
out
of three filters with bandwidth of 6 kHz, 3 kHz and 0.5 kHz and the filtered signalis
amplified
by the455 kHz IF AMP. 2r'J
The amplifed receivingsignalis supplied to the AGC circuit and demodulator circuit
respectively.The AGC voltage for automatic gain control is applied to the lst IF AMP
(70.455
kHz) and 2nd IF AMP (455 kHz.). In caseof DSB detection, the demodulator
circuit takesout the carriercomponent from the receivingfrequencysignal
andoperates
as
a synchronousdetector.
In case
of otherthanDSBdetection,
the BFO signalsupplied
from
the BFO circuitandthedemodulator
circuitoperates
as
aproductdetector.
The demodulatedoutput is supplied
to AF AMP andLINE AMP respectively.
AF AMP
is a AF power amplifier for speaker and headphones.
The gain is adjusted by IC for
electronic volume placed on the fbrmer stage
of AF AMP according to the DC voltage
suppliedfiom AF GAIN controller on the front panel.
The LINE AMP output is supplied
to [BRE- LINEI connector
on therear
panel
and
usedfor connectingto the tape recorder,
FAX, FSK demodulator,etc. The LINE AMP
output is approx. 0 dBm which is not affected by the AF GAIN controller on the front
panel.
The BK circuit is provitled for protecting from burning due to the inducation of own
station'stransmitting radio wave.
This BK circuit is controlled by the external
+BK and-BK
(keying signal).When-BK line becomes0V (keyed), the BK circuit operatesfor grounding
the antennaterminal. At the sametime, since
the AGC circuit is controlled, the gainof the
receiver
isreduced
andthe speaker
output doesnot appear
(muting condition).
5.2 LOCAL SIGANL GENERATOR
SECTION
The local signalgenerator
section is composed
of the lst local oscillator,2nd local
oscillatorand BFO circuit.
