GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EICO Model 753 SSB/AM/CW Transceiver incorporates a filter type single sideband trans-
mitter and a single conversion superheterodyne receiver for operation on the 80, 40 and 20 meter
amateur bands.
It
is equally suited for mobile and fixed station use.
In fixed station use, the Model 751 AC Supply/Speaker Console (117 VAC, 60 cps) is required
for its operation. In mobile use, the Model 752 DC Supply (12 VDC , positive or negative ground) is
required. Both supplies have been designed integrally with the 753 and provide the requisite filtering
and regulation. They can not be supplanted by supplies of other manufacture
if
the design capabilities
of the 753 are to be obtained.
FEATURES
SPECIFICATIONS
o Full band coverage on 80, 40 and 20 meters. o Receiver off set tuning (up to ±lOkc) without
altering transmitter frequency. o Built-in VOX. o Panel selected VOX, PTT
&
STANDBY. o High
level dynamic ALC to prevent flat-topping or splatter and permit the use of a linear amplifier. o Auto-
matic carrier level adjustment on CW and AM. o Dual ratio ball drive per mits single knob 6:1 rapid
tuning and 30: 1 fine tuning (over 10 degrees of scale). o Position of hairline adjustable on panel.
o Illuminated S-meter/PA Cathode Current Meter and tuning dial. o Fast attack, slow decay AGC.
o Grid-block break-in CW keying. o Product detector for SSB and CW, triode detector for AM. o TR
relay with auxiliary contacts for use with high power linear amplifier. o Includes mobile mounting
bracket.
