Switching —
In
the receive condition, the 10V supply is connected to the receiver oscillator
section (pin 2) via the unerergised relay R LS/2 (S1) in the Switching Module (12). Operating the
press-to-talk switch energises R LS/2 and contact S1 transfers the 10V supply to the transmitter
oscillator section (pin 4) to activate the transmitter oscillator.
Receiver and Transmitter Oscillator Module (18) 12-channel
Construction —
This plug-in module is made up of two identical switched oscillator cards (one
receiver, one transmitter) permanently fixed to an oscillator mother board. The 12-way single pole
switches fitted to each card are ganged by a spindle operated by the Channel Selector Knob mounted
on the front panel of the equipment. The module is horizontally mounted and secured by 2 x
M2,5 pillars and 2 locating pins.
Each switched oscillator card is provided with a transistor and the fixed value components
of one oscillator circuit. The oscillator mother board is provided with 24 sets (12 receive 12 trans-
mit) of frequency-conscious components, i.e. crystals, trimming inductors, shunt resistors and
decoupling capacitors (8 off). The board is arranged so that the receiver channel components
occupy the front half and the transmitter channel components occupy the rear half; the receiver
and transmitter oscillator cards are positioned centrally on the appropriate sector of the board to
connect the selected components into the oscillator circuit.
Component Coding — See Coding Table
Trimming —
Inductive; receiver trimmers L1 to L12, transmitter trimmers L13 to L24 (See also
Netting Procedure Section 2).
Switching —
In the receive condition, the 10V supply is connected to the receiver oscillator mother
board at pin 2 via the unenergised relay R LS/2 (S1) in the Switching Module (12). Operating the
press-to-talk switch energises R LS/2 and contact S1 transfers the 10V supply to the transmitter
oscillator mother board pin 4 to activate the transmitter oscillator. Channel change is effected by
the ganged 12-way switches on the cards.
Receiver and Transmitter Oscillator Module (18) 6-Channel
Apart from the number of channels provided and the component coding of the oscillator
mother board, this is identical in all respects with the 12-channel version.
