INTRODUCTION
used, resonating well below the band with a200 mmf
antenna.
The second quality of areceiver, selectivity, is nec'
essanly acompronaise with fidelity of the reproduced
signal. This receiver is designed to have five degrees
of selectivity, three of which include acrystal filter.
To secure good frequency stability, rugged con-
struction of parts and wiring in the high frequency
heterodyne oscillator circuit has been included in the
design. This, together with voltage stabilization of
the oscillator plate supply, temperature compensation,
and proper oscillator excitation, provides ahigh de¬
gree of stability.
Reliability depends to alarge extent on the quality
of material and workmanship. Throughout the AR-88
Receiver the best material obtainable is used for each
particular purpose and all workmanship is of the best.
The following instructions should be studied before
the installation or operation of this equipment is at¬
tempted, in order that optimum performance may be
obtained.
In the design of ahigh frequency radio receiver,
are four important qualities for consideration:
1. Usable sensitivity.
2. Selectivity.
VFrequency Stability.
4, Reliability
mere
The sensitivity of this receiver is limited only by
the tube noise originating in the first tube and its asso¬
ciated circuits Alarge part of this noise is due to
"shot” effect and thermal agitation in the first tuned
circuit. Asignal, to be readable, must produce avolt¬
age on the grid, of the same or greater order of mag¬
nitude than this inherent noise voltage. Therefore, an
efficient coupling system between the antenna and the
first R-F tube of the receiver is of great importance.
This has been the subject of considerable develop¬
ment, and the system used on this receiver gives opti¬
mum coupling with antenna or transmission line im¬
pedances of 200 ohms, over the entire frequency
range of the receiver, except on the broadcast band
On the broadcast band, a. low frequency primary is

CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS
The circuit is shown schematically in Figure 11. It
consists of two stages of R-F amplification, first de'
tector, first heterodyne oscillator; three stages of I-F
amplification, second detector, noise limiter, second
heterodyne oscillator; A-F amplifier stage, output
power stage and power supply system.
with open link is required, this connection on the rear
of the antenna terminal board must be removed.
R-F Amplifier —The R-F Amplifier is designed to
provide ample selectivity ahead of the first detector
for minimizing cross modulation and blocking effects
from strong interfering signals and for obtaining a
high degree of image signal suppression. The amplifi'
cation is adjusted to provide optimum signal-to-noise
ratio by making noise contributions of circuits follow'
ing the first tube negligible in comparison with the
noise contributed by the first R-F grid circuit; that
is, each tuned circuit in the receiver contributes some
Input Coupling—^The antenna coupling system is
designed to provide optimum coupling from a200
ohm transmission line, except in the broadcast band.
The first tuned circuit is provided with atrimmer con-
denser adjustable from the front panel. This insures

the proper tuning of this circuit with
system.
For the standard broadcast band, conventional
tenna and ground connections should be used.
The antenna terminal board is provided with three
terminals (see Figures 2and 6), two of which may
be joined together with alink. When asingle wire
antenna is used, the link should be closed and the
antenna connected to “A.'
should be connected to “G.
balanced input, is used, the'link should be opened and
the line connected to terminal "A” and the
terminal.
IMPORTANT—Receivers are shipped from the fac¬
tory with a/ permanent bus-wire connection on the
rear of the antenna terminal board, between the
ter and ground terminals. If balanced input operation
noise voltage, but by making the gain of the first tube
as high as practicable, the noise contributed by suc¬
ceeding circuits is unimportant.
.Band Spread —The mechanical band spread with
single control knob enables the operator to quickly
tune apreviously logged station. The log scale on the
main dial and the separate vernier dial provide for
exact logging and tuning.
First Heterodyne Oscillator —The first heterodyne
oscillator is aligned to track with the R-F Amplifier
at 455 kc higher than the signal frequency, thus pro¬
ducing a455 kc intermediate frequency in the first
detector plate circuit which is amplified further in the
I-F stages. The oscillator voltage is regulated by the
RCA VR-150 regulator tube to provide maximum
frequency stability under conditions of variations in
power supply voltage.

100% modulation and to continuously lower percent-
ages down to any modulation whatsoever, determined
by the setting of the noise limiter control.
Anoise limiter switch in conjunction with AVC
provides for use of the noise limiter on CW or on
modulated reception when interference is present.
Output Tube —The RCA 6K6GT output tube is
Resistance coupled from the A-F amplifier, an RCA
6SJ7 tube, and operates into an output transformer
which has taps for matching into a2.5 or' 600 ohm
load, or into headphones. The headphone winding is
designed so that amaximum of approximately 10
milliwatts of power may be delivered to 20,000 ohm
phones. Terminals are provided pn the rear apron for
the 2.5 and 600 ohm impedances. The output from
the 600 ohm winding is fed
terminals, neither of which is grounded. This wind¬
ing may be used to feed abalanced 600 ohm line. The
output from the 2.5 ohm tap is fed to the 2.5 ohm
terminals through atwo-position jack mounted on
the panel. The headphone winding also connects to
the jack. With the phone plug inserted into the jack
in the first position, the phones are in parallel with
the 2.5 ohm output and both are on. When the plug
is pushed into the second position, the phones are
connected to the phone winding and the 2.5 ohm
output is cut off from the rear terminals. If no load
is connected to the 2.5 or 600 ohm output terminals,
the phones should always be used in the second posi¬
tion; as under this condition aload resistor is shunted
across the 2.5 ohm tap to maintain impedance match¬
ing of the system.
Power Pack —The power pack mounted on the
receiver chassis consists of apower transformer, rec¬
tifier tube RCA-5Y.5GT, and filter. Atap switch is
provided on the rear apron for changing the power
transformer voltage tap. (See Figures 2and 6.) The
voltage for which the switch is set may be read di¬
rectly on the switch. The instrument may also be
operated from 6V. “A” and 250 to 300 V. “B” bat¬
teries, or Vibrator Power Supply Unit MI-8319.
Shielding —Interstage shielding is provided to in¬
sure stability under all operating conditions and to
minimize oscillator radiation., Complete external
shielding prevents coupling to any portion of the cir¬
cuit except through the antenna circuit.
Intermediate Frequency Crystal Filter —The first
detector plate circuit is tuned to the intermediate fre¬
quency and abalanced link circuit is used to couple
the first detector plate and first I-F grid circuits. A
455 kc crystal is connected in one arm of the link cir¬
cuit and aneutralizing capacitor is connected in the
other. The impedances of the coils in the link circuit
●'jned so that the crystal selectivity character¬
istic .not impractically sharp. The band width at two
times resonant input may be adjusted to 400 cycles,
1,500 cycles, or 3,000 cycles. For this adjustment see
“Operation.”
Intermediate Frequency Amplifier —Three stages
of I-F amplification are used; RCA-6SG7 tubes are
used in all stages and an RCA-6H6 tube is used for
AVC and second detector. The first I-F Transformer
has its primary and secondary tuned, and is coupled
through the crystal filter link. The second and third
I-F Transformers are composed of four tuned circuits
each. These circuits are varied in coupling by the
selectivity switch. The fourth I-F Transformer has
two tuned circuits.
The third I-F stage is not connected to the AVC
nor to the manual volume control so that agood AVC
characteristic with little overload distortion is ob¬
tained. This also permits the CW oscillator to be
coupled to the grid circuit of this stage, giving acom¬
paratively high detector excitation voltage with small
electrical coupling to the oscillator circuit.
Second Heterodyne Oscillator —The second het¬
erodyne (CW) oscillator is atriode RCA-6J5 tube
which is electrostatically coupled to the final I-F stage.
Apanel control is provided by means of which the
frequency of the heterodyne oscillator and resultant
audio beat note may be varied.
Particular care has been taken in the design of the
circuit constants to minimize oscillator harmonics.
Automatic Volume Control —The AVC voltage is
obtained from the second detector, an RCA-6H6 tube.
Avariable delay is obtained depending on the setting
of the R-F gain control.
The second heterodyne (CW) oscillator excitation
voltage is just lower than the A'VC diode bias voltage
so that it does not decrease the sensitivity of the
receiver.
Manual Volume Control —Two manual volume
controls are provided; an audio gain control which is
employed when the AVC is in use, to obtain the de¬
sired output level, and an R-F gain control.
Noise Limiter —The noise limiter circuit utilizes
an RCA-6H6 tube and limits the noise interference to
are
directly to the 600 ohm
Tuning Meter —The necessary wires for connect¬
ing atuning meter in the cathode circuit of the first
I.F. tube have been included in the cable wiring. If
and when meters become available, it will be asimple
operation to install atuning meter. A5milliampere
meter with zero deflection to the right is required.

Mounting —The instrument may be placed on a
table or mounted on arack. For rack mounting loosen
the panel mounting screws and remove the panel and
chassis complete from the cabinet. The panel is
equipped with standard slots for rack mounting.
Power Supply —The power supply circuit is in-
tegral with the receiver. Determine line voltage and
frequency and check with the rating of the receiver.
The power transformer primary may be connected
for any one of five voluge ranges by means of atap
switch. This switch is located in the rear apron of the
receiver, and the voltage for which it is set may be
read directly on the switch.
For Battery or other Supply Operation —For con-
nections see Schematic Diagram Figure 11. It is only
necessary to remove the plug from the socket on the
rear of the receiver, and connect the batteries to the
proper terminals as indicated by the schematic dia¬
gram. Abattery cable terminating in an octal male
plug is necessary for this purpose. Avibrator power
supply MI-8319 is available which will operate the
receiver directly from a6volt storage battery. For
information on this power unit see Section XI.
Tubes —Inspect the chassis before applying power
to see that all tubes are firmly seated in their respec¬
tive sockets.

MAINTENANCE
This receiver should maintain its correct factory ad¬
justments over areasonably long period of time.
Causes of trouble and the probable sequence of their
development are outlined in the following paragraphs:
Anoticeable decrease in the
sensitivity of the receiver usually indicates worn
out vacuum tubes. If the sensitivity is low, re¬
move and check the tubes in areliable tube
tester or substitute new tubes one at atime.
See Technical Summary, and Schematic Dia¬
gram Figure 11. Tube socket voltages are given
in Table 2on page 14.
2Range Switch —Aswitch may operate defec
tively on certain positions after long periods of
inoperation. Usually rotating the switch back
and forth several times will clean the e.bntacts
and operation will become normal.
Abad range-switch contact is likely to cause a
change in the sensitivity of the receiver, or the
frequency of areceived signal, as the switch is
moved back and forth slightly in acertain fre¬
quency band position. Afurther check is to
turn the switch and on at one particular fre¬
quency band several times and note the ap¬
parent sensitivity of the receiver each time the
switch comes into position. The sensitivity
should be the same each time and may be ade¬
quately judged for this test by listening to the
receiver background noise.

3. Circuit Alignment
Alignment Tools —Special tools for align¬
ment of R-F and I-F circuits are provided. They
are mounted in fuse clips on either side of the
gang condenser cover, and are available after
removing the large R-F unit cover. The shorter
one of the two is for adjustment of all R-F and
I-F coils, and the longer one is for adjustment
of the plunger type trimmers. One end of this
tool is for turnin’g the lock nut on the trimmers
and the other end has ahook for engaging in
the hole in the end of the plungers. After ad¬
justment, the lock nut should be securely tight¬
ened.

control C-75 at approximately one half of its
mum capacity. This is approximately its final setting
and changing it appreciably will slightly detune the
first I-F transformer
With Selectivity Switch in Position 2the I-F band
width is normal without over-coupling in the trans¬
formers. With Selectivity Switch in Position 1, the
second and third.I FTransformers are expanded and
over-coupled. It is well in going through the alignment
steps outlined above to check the I-F curves on the
oscillograph screen with switch in Position 1to see
that the curves expand symmetrically.
Adjustment of Crystal Phasing Control —This ad¬
justment is best made by means of asignal generator
and ahigh resistance sensitive DC voltmeter such as
the RCAJunior Voltohmyst. Place Selectivity Switch
in Position 3Connect the generator to the grid of the
maxi-
U

6SA7 first det., and the Voltmeter to Terminal Con
last I'F transformer (L47, L48). Tune the generator
to about 7k.c. off I-F resonance and adjust the crystal
phasing control C75 for minimum response.
The above three adjustments are very critical and
must be made carefully to obtain symmetrical curves.
Adjustment of Wave Trap —Awave trap is con¬
nected across the broadcast band antenna primary to
increase the rejection of TF signal frequencies. With
the range switch on Position 1, apply amodulated TF
signal to the antenna and ground terminals. Adjust
the wave trap trimmer L57 (See Fig. 2) for minimum
output. The wave trap should be adjusted before the
final R'F alignment on No. 1band, or the antenna
coil alignment may be affected.
Adjustment of Crystal Load Circuit —Make con¬
nections as for the preceding adjustment,
(a) Place Selectivity switch in Position 3.Rock the
signal generator frequency back and forth
across the I-F resonant frequency and adjust
the crystal load circuit trimmer L34 for sym¬
metrical round-top curve,
(b) Place the Selectivity switch in Position 4. Rock
the signal generator frequency and adjust trim¬
mer C81 for symmetrical curve,
(c) Place the Selectivity switch in Position 5. Ad¬
just trimmer C80 rocking the signal generator
as for (a) and (b) above.

R-F Alignment —Asignal generator covering a
range from 535 k.c. to 32 megacycles, and an output
voltmeter, are required. It is desirable to connect a
speaker across the output terminals. The output volt¬
meter should then be connected across the speaker
voice coil. The output impedance is 2.5 ohms. Re¬
move the cover from over the R-F unit by loosening
the four knurled screws and lifting off.

MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION
The receiver has been designed to be very rugged
so that it will stand ilp under severe conditions of
use, and yet have all parts available for easy replace¬
ment. All component parts such as transformers,
chokes, filter and by-pass capacitors, etc., are mounted
with screws and nuts rather than with rivets. All wir¬
ing other than that involving high frequency circuits
is made up in the form of alaced cable so that no
loose leads are left floating which might cause damage
or change capacity to various portions of the circuit.
The tuning condenser is mounted so as to be rigid
with respect to the tuning unit, and yet is flexible with
respect to the chassis. This prevents distortion of the
chassis from having any appreciable effect on .the
stability of the oscillator.
screws and sliding the chassis forward out of
the cabinet.
2. Remove the knobs by means of the small
wrench held in the spring clip on the right
hand side of the chassis. This wrench fits the
set screws in all knobs except the main tuning
knob. For this knob use an ordinary small
screw driver.
3. Remove the panel by removing the eight nuts
with which it is held to the support brackets.
4. Remove the large cover from the top of the
f o u r k n u n e d n u t s
R'F unit, by removing the
with which it is supported.
5. Remove the small cover from the tuning con¬
denser, by removing the eight knurled nuts
with which it is supported.
6. Remove the dial light sockets where they are
clipped on to the tuning unit.
7 R e m o v e t h e a n t e n n a t r i m m e r s h a f t e x t e n s i o n
by loosening set screw in coupling with same
wrench ao used above for knobs.
The R-F unit which consists of the tuning con¬
denser, tuning unit, range switch, and all of the R-F
and oscillator coils and trimmers, is mounted on a
separate base which bolts to the main base. The vari¬
ous coils and trimmers on this base may be easily
replaced by means of asingle nut which screws on
the individual mounting bushings. However if a
major repair is to be made such as replacement of the
range switch, it is necessary first to remove the com¬
plete R-F unit from the receiver. To do this the follow
ing procedure should be observed;
1. Remove the chassis and panel from the cab¬
inet bv removing the four panel mounting
8. Remove support bracket from flywheel tun¬
ing shaft.
9. Remove main dial, vernier dial, and flywheel
by loosening set screws with same wrench as
used for knobs.

TABLE 2—TUBE SOCKET VOLTAGES10. Disconnect the eight leads which connect the
R'F unit to the main base. These leads are
as follows:
(a) Two on the antenna terminal board
(blue and black) ,
(b) One on number 7pin of the 6K6GT
output tube (brown),
(c) One on terminal Eof the crystal load
