SBE SB-36 OPERATION MANUAL
2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL
The SB-36 Transceiver is designed for Fixed, portable or mobile
operation. No special precautions need be observed in choice of a
location, provided adequate ventilation is available. A minimum of two
inches air space above the top cabinet and on all sides is
recommended to allow proper air flow around the top and bottom of the
cabinet. Do not place the unit on a car seat or similar surface which
knight block air flow through the bottom. Never stack other units above
or below the cabinet since the accumulated heat could cause
permanent damage.
2.2 FIXED STATION
Connect the transceiver's power supply inter-connect cable, speaker
cord and plug the 117 VAC power cord into an AC outlet to provide
power to all circuits for AC operation. The transceiver should be
connected to a good water pipe ground. The ground should be
connected to the terminal provided on the rear panel of the transceiver.
2.3 ANTENNAS
Results in both receiving and transmitting are dependent largely on the
antenna. The receiver is particularly sensitive to the antenna used. Any
of the common antenna systems designed for use on the higher
frequency amateur bands may be used with the SB-36 provided the
input impedance of the antenna system matches the capability of the pi
output matching network (50-100 ohms resistive). If a tuned open-wired
transmission line is used, or if a long wire antenna is desired, a suitable
antenna tuner must be used between the transceiver and the
transmission line to provide an impedance match between the
unbalanced pi output network and the balanced open wire line or long
wire.
2.4 LINEAR AMPLIFIER
Any conventional linear amplifier requiring 300 watts of drive or less
may be used in conjunction with the SB-36. An external jack on the rear
panel provides relay control information to accessory linear amplifiers.
Another external jack on the rear of the transceiver will accept ALC
