FR-101
COMMUNICATIONS
RECEIVER
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The model FR-101
is
a solid-state communications
receiver designed
to
provide extreme flexibility
that
even
the most demanding amateur desires with provisions for
all mode reception
on
twenty
one
500
KHz amateur and
major shortwave broadcast bands from
160
through 2
meters. The versatile FR-I
01
receiver
is
capable
of
t.ransceive or independent receive and transmit function
with the matching
FL
-
101
transmitter or FT-101 E/
277E
transceiver.
New, solid-state technology, with features such
as
a
double-balanced mixer, offer unparalleled performance
and rejection
of
cross-modulation and intermodulation
interference.
All
circuits are composed
of
standard,
computor
type,
plug-in modules, for reliable operation
and service• simplicity. A linear tuning, temperature
compensated VFO with I KHz frequency readability
is
incorporated. A .100 KHz/25 KHz crystal calibrator
is
built-in. The FR-101 also includes fast
attack
/slow
release
AGC
for
SSB
or
AM
and fast release for
CW.
lf
desired, the
AGC
can be completely disabled. A built-in
noise blanker with adjustable threshold control provides
excellent elimination
of
most impulse type noise.
In addition to external VFO operation, a crystal
oscillator
is
built-in for crystal-control operation
of
4
channels of fixed frequency reception. The FR-I
01
includes a self-contained
AC
power supply · adjustable
from 100/
110/117

volt
AC
when the
primary power transformer winding
is
appropriately
wired.
The
SP
-101PB/277PB phone-patch and externa
l.
speaker
combination
is
a useful accessory for amateur operation.
