OSCILLATOR
The
oscillator

V1,
functions
as
a
modified
Pierce
crystal

The
crystal
selector
switch
SW-1]
is
used
to
select
the
desired

When
VFO

is
desired,
the
VFO

is
connected
to
the
VFO

operates
as
a

The
oscillator
may
be
operated
at
the
fundamental

is
added
to
the
tank

The

ie
fed
through
a
3-section
low-pass
filter
with
a
cut-off
point
of
approximately
34MC,
ef-
fectively

should
be
connected
ta
a
50-75

Grid
or
Plate
current
of
the
final
amplifier
is
read
by
proper
positioning
of
switch
SW-4
(METER
switch).
In
the
"Grid"
position,
the
meter
reads
the
voltage
developed
across
resistor
Ri0,
and
thus,
in
effect,
measures
the
grid
current
passing
through
this
resistor,
In
the
"Plate"
position,
the
meter
reada
the
voltage
developed
acrose
the
resistor
R13,
and
thus
meas-
ures
the
current
drawn
through
this
resistor,
Although
cathode
current
is
actually
the
combined
grid,
acreen,
and
plate
current,
the
reading
may
be
taken
as
a
true
indication
of
plate
current,
The

MODULATOR
The
modulator
tube
V5
consists
of
two
dissimilar
triodes,
one
with
a
power
rating
of
1.5
watta
and
the
other
7
watts.
The

ia
coupled
directly
to
the
grid
of
the
higher
power
triode
which
is
eactually
the
modulator,
The
cathode
of
the
modulator
section
is
coupled
to
the
screen
prid
of
V3
(final

through
R25
and
C30.

1s
so
arranged
that,
with
no

mput
signal,
conduction
of
the
tube
is
limited
(low),
This
allows
the
screen
voltage
of
the
final
amplifier
V3
to
remain
at
a
low
value,
thus
reducing
the
plate
current
of
V3
to
a
low
resting
state,
When
an
audio
signal
is
applied
to
¥5,
conduction
in
the
modulator
section
increases,
raising
the
screen
voltage
of
¥3,
This
causes
an
increase
in
the
plate
current
of

OPERATING
NOTES
1,
Operating
the
transmitter
without
a
crystal
(or
VFO),
a
proper
antenna
or
dummy
load
will
result
in
component
failure.
2,
Operating
the
transmitter
with
the
final
amplifier
not
tuned
to
resonance
(minimum
plate
current)
may
damage
the
final
amplifier
tube,
3.
Never
switch
directly
from
OFF
to
the
AM
or
CW
positions
or
the
final
amplifier
tube
will
be
damaged,
Always
switch
to
the
"STBY"
position
first,
leaving
the
mode
switch
in
thia
position
for
at
least
60
seconds
before
attempting
to
operate
the
transmitter.
This
will
allow
the
tubes
to
reach
normal
operating
temperatures.
4,
If
you
change
your
operating
frequency
by
more
than
a
few
kilocycles,
it
may
be
necea sary
to
re-
tune
the
driver
and
final
amplifier
stages,
-
5.
Never
cover
the
perforations
in
the
top
of
the
cover
or
ventilation
will
be
restricted,
Failure
to
observe
this
precaution
will
result
in
sharply
reduced
component
and
tube
life,
IN
THE
EVENT
OF
DIFFICULTY
A,
If
all
of
the
tubes
remain
unlit
when
the
transmitter
is
turned
on,
or
if
they
suddenly
go
off,
check
to
sce
that
the
fuse
is
intact.
Uf
it
is
not,
replace
it
with
one
of
the
same
value
(see
parts
list}.
Should
the
fuse
blow
again,
a
short
or
a
component
failure
must
be
suspected,
B.,
Carefully
re-check
all
wiring
and
valuea
of
components
inserted
against
the
inatructions.
If
you
have
not
already
done
ao,
trace
each
lead
and
component
in
the
pictoriala
with
a
colored
pencil.
It
is
frequently
helpful
to
have
a
friend
check
your
work
with
you
as
there
is
a
tendency
for
the
constructor
to
repeat
his
errors,
C.
Inspect
all
solder
connections
carefully.
A
large
number
of
kits
returned
for
repair
haye
been
found
defective
due
to
poox
solder
connections,
Therefore,
any
doubtful
connections
should
be
re-
heated
to
make
gure
they
are
correctly
soldered,
BD,
Check
for
small
piecea
of
solder
or
wire
which
may
have
fallen
into
the
chassis,
Make
sure
that
the
use
of
excess
solder
has
not
caused
a
short
between
adjacent
terminals
or
nearby
wiring,
par-
ticularly
on
tube
sockets
and
switch
terminala,
E.
Check
all
tubes
with
a
tube
tester,
or
by
substitution
with
tubes
of
the
same
type
and
known
to
be
good,
F,
A
resistance
chart
has
been
included
as
an
aid
in
locating
defective
componenta
and
to
permit
a
careful
stage-by-stage
check
of
the
unit,
If
any
of
the
readings
obtained
differ
widely
from
those
provided
in
the
chart,
recheck
that
part
of
the
circuit
involved
carefully,
If
the
wiring
and
con-
nections
are
correct,
component
failure
must
be
euapected,
G,
If
you
are
still
unable
to
locate
the
trouble
and
a
vacuum-tube
voltmeter
is
available,
check
the
voltage
readings,
referring
to
the
voltage
chart.
A
variation
of
+15%
may
be
considered
normal,
If
any
voltage
is
incorrect,
recheck
that
part
of
the
circuit
involved
carefully.
If
the
wiring
and
connections
have
already
been
checked
and
found
correct,
the
trouble
will
probably
be
due
to
a
de-
fective
part
(tube,
capacitor,
resistor,
etc.),
CAUTION:
EXERCISE
GREAT
CARE
WHEN
MAKING
ANY
CHECKS
WITH
THE
UNIT
TURNED
ON,
lf
there
are
obvious
signs
of
a
short

in
following
the
atep-by-atep
instruc-
tions,
All
components
have
been
assigned

strips,
solder
lugs,
etc.,
have
been
assigned
let-
ter
and/or
number
designations,
The
instructions
tell
you
when

after
or
during
a
step,
simply
wrap
or
crimp
the

terminal
and
proceed
to
the
next
step,
When
the
final
lead
is
connected
to
thie
terminal
the
abbreviation
'S"
(Solder)
will
follow,
The
figure
which
appears
with

NOTES
ON
WIRING
Each
kit
is
supplied
with
more
than
enough
insulated
lead
for
complete
wiring.
A
length
of
insulated
lead,
unless
otherwise
specified,
should
have
about
1/4"
of
inswlation
removed
or
"stripped!
from
each
end,
Excessive
wire
exposure
increases
the
possibility
of
shorts
to
nearby
wiring
or
terminals,
Use
a
razor
blade
or
sharp
knife
to
cut
off
the
insulation,
during
this
operation,
be
sure
not
to
cut
into
the
wire
itself,
The
length
to
which
each
lead
is
to
be
cut
is
specified
in
the
step-by-step
instructiona,
and
allowance
has
been
made
for
the
removal
of
the
insulation
from
each
end,
The
lead
supplied
is
solid
wire,
but
some
of
the
transformer
leads‘are
etranded;
the
latter
should
be
tinned
(coated
with
solder}
before
connecting
to
the
specified
point,
To
prepare
stranded
leads,
remove
a
1/4"
length
of
insulation
from
the
end
of
the
lead,
twist
all
the
strands
together
with
your
fingers,
and
tin
the
end,
To
connect
a
lead
to
a
lug,
put
about
three-quarters
of
the
bared
end
of
the
lead
through
the
hole
in
the
lug,
and
then,
using
the
long-nose
pliers,
wrap
the
wire
around
the
lug,
The
lengtha
to
which
compo-
nent
leads
are
to
be
cut
are
also
specified
in
the
instructions,
For
example,
if
you
are
instructed
to
cut
each
lead
of
a
capacitor
to
1",
then
the
prepared
cormponent
should
have
a
1"
length
of
wire,on
each
side.
NOTES
ON
SOLDERING
The
importance
of
good
soldering
technique
in
the
construction
of
kits
cannot
be
over-emphasized.
Good
solder
joints
are
essential
if
you
are
to
realize
the
quality
and
stability
of
performance
that
has
been
engineered
into
this
unit,
If
you
are
inexperienced
in
soldering,
we
suggest
that
you
spend
a
little
time
practicing
with
pieces
of
scrap
wire
and
an
old
tube
socket
or
terminal
strip
before
attempting
to
do
any
soldering
on
your
kit,
The
purpose
of
soldering
an
electrical
connection
is
to
provide
a
permanent
electrical
bond
between
the
wires
and
terminals
to
be
joined,
This
prevents
the
formation
of
corrosion
which
insulates
or
produces
unwanted
resistance
between
the
joined
parts,
It
is
not
at
all
difficult
to
make
a
good
solder
connection
that
will
provide
the
required
electrical
bond
if
you
will
simply
observe
a
few
basic
rules
for
good
soldering.

1,
Use
only
good
quality,
rosin-core
solder
made
apecifically
for
radio
and
television
use;
a
good
cornposition
ia
60
per
cent
tin
and
40
per
cent
lead
(usually
indicated
as
60/40},
Acid
core
solder
or
paste
flux
must
NOT,
under
any
circumstances,
be
used,
as
the
corrosive
effects
of
these
materials
will
cause
much
damage
to
the
circuit
components,
CAUTION
THE
USE
OF
ACID
CORE
SOLDER
OR
PASTE
FLUX
ON
THIS
KIT
OR
ANY
PORTION
THEREOF
AUTOMATICALLY
VOIDS
OUR
WARRANTY
COVERAGE,
2,
Use
a
good
soldering
iron,
25-50
watts,
The
tip
of
the
iron
must
be
kept
clean
and
well
tin-
ned,
in
accordance
with
the
instructions
of
the
soldering
iron
manufacturer,
to
obtain
con-
sistently
good
connections,
The
tip
should
present
a
bright
appearance
and
be
free
of
excess
solder,
An
old
rag
or
a
pad
of
steel
wool
may
be
used
to
wipe
the
hot
tip
clean
occasionaliy
during
use,
3,
Be
sure
leads
and
terminals
to
be
joined
are
clean
and
free
of
wax
or
corrosion
before
sol-
dering,
The
solder
will
not
adhere
properly
to
the
joint
if
the
leads
and
terminals
are
dirty
or
corroded,
and
will
uaually
result
in
a
"cold"
or
high
resistance
connection,
4,
A
good
mechanical
connection
should
always
be
made
before
soldering,
by
crimping
the
leads
on
the
terminals
with
your
pliers,
Do
not
rely
on
solder
alone
for
physical
strength,
Strand-
ed
leads
should
always
be
tinned
with
solder
before
being
connected,
5,
To
solder
properly,
apply
the
iron
to
the
joint
for
a
few
seconds;
then
apply
the
solder
and
hold
the
iron
on
the
connection
until
the
solder
flows
freely,
The
solder
must
flow
complete-
ly
over
the
connection,
Simply
melting
drops
of
solder
onto
the
connection
will
not
produce
the
desired
results,
but
will
result
in
a
"cold"
solder
connection,
This
presents
a
dull
and
pitted
or
"grainy"
appearance,
A
good
connection
will
have
a
smooth
and
shiny
appearance,
Remember,
the
joint
itself
must
be
heated
sufficiently
to
melt
solder
before
the
solder
will
flow
smoothly
and
freely
in
and
around
the
connection;
however,
you
must
be
careful
not
to
apply
heat
too
long,
Excessive
heat
from
the
iron
may
damage
components
and
insulation
on
wires
connected
to
the
joint,
When
soldering
a
joint
having
a
small
cornponent
connected
to
it
(a
1/2
watt
resistor,
for
example),
the
cormponent
may
be
protected
from
excessive
heat
frorn
the
iron
by
grasping
the
lead
between
the
joint
and
the
component
with
long-nose
pliers,
The
pliers
will
then
conduct
most
of
the
heat
away
from
the
component,
preventing
overheat-
ing.
Do
not
use
too
much
solder
when
making
a
connection,
Use
only
enough
to
completely
cover
all
leads
and
to
fill
lug
or
terminal
holes.
Excessive
use
of
solder
may
result
in
the
formation
of
solder
"bridges"
or
shorts
between
adjacent
terminals
or
nearby
wiring,
par-
ticularly
on
tube
socketa
and
switch
terminals,
Aliso,
solder
may
flow
into
the
switch
con-
tacts,
destroying
switch
action,
