is
an eleven-tube superhetero<lyne broadcast
and
short-wave receiver,
operating upon
alternating
current
and
employing the high-efficiency 6.3 volt tubes, automatic inter-
statiou noise suppression,
and
a frequency (wave-band) coverage
that
permits reception of
the
short-wave
(high-frequency) broadcast programs.
The
same superheterodyne circuit
is
used for all reception.
The
Receiver is equipped with a five-point wave-band switch.
The
ranges
are-
(1) 520 K. C.
to
1500 K. C. (3) 3.2

The
Receiver employs a Philco
Type
77
tube
for first detector, a
Type
76
for oscillator, a
Type
78
for first
I.
F.,
a
Type
78 for second
I.
F.,
and
a
Type
37 for second detector.
The
automatic
interstation
noise suppression circuit uses a
Type
78,
the
first A.
F.,
a
Type
77.
The
driver (second A.
F.)
is a
Type
42;
the
class
"A"
amplification
is
accomplished with two
Type
42 tubes as triodes;
the
rectifier is a
Type
5-Z-3.
The
intermediate frequency
is
460 kilocydes.
The
power consumption of Model 16-122
is
130
watts;
of
Model 16-121, 120
watts.
