Incorrect part designator. on pg.12 line 2.- connect cap 20/50Pf from pin 3 of V4 to pin 7of v17.. V17 does not exist check schematics. Eico 573.

The context does not provide specific information about an Eico 573. However, for the Eico 753, if V17 does not exist, the connection involving pin 3 of V4 to pin 7 of V17 cannot be made as described. In that case, the temporary capacitor connection step should be skipped or adjusted based on the actual circuit configuration.

Summary of Contents for Eico 753

  • Page 2: General Description

    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.
  • Page 3 This facilitates servicing, or , if desired, double use of the Model 753 as both a mobile and f ixed station. Fig. 2 provides all the requir ed infor mation for installing the mounting bracket and for attaching the trans- ceiver to the bracket.

    MICROPHONE CONNECTIONS An Amphenol Type MC2M plug, or the equivalent, must be used for connecting the microphone the panel MIC receptacle. The microphone may be either a high impedance dynamic (preferred) or a ceramic type. Since all necessary audio bandwidth restriction is incorporated in the transceiver circuitry, a wide-range, high quality dynamic mike may be used and is most desirable.

  • Page 8 CW station. AM OPERATION The following procedure is based on the assumption that the 753 has been set up for SSB opera- tion, and that it is now intended to operate AM. Set the FUNCTION switch at either VOX or PTT, depending on the desired type of operation.
  • Page 9: Mode Switch

    This will require a lower setting of the MIC GAIN control than is used in SSB opera- tion. 8. The 753 is now properly set up for AM operation. Least distortion on AM reception will usually be obtained when tuned slightly to one side of "peak".

    CALIBRATION AC TIVATION The 753 provides power and input connections for a lOOkc crystal oscillator employing a tube with a 12. volt heater. A 4-pin plug (EBY 11'9721-71) must be wired to the calibrator connection cable as follows: pin 1: 12.
  • Page 11 dynamically grounded plate is adjusted with R20 to control the balance of the modulator. This balance is automatically upset in the AM mode by connection of R42 from one deflection plate to ground. Out- put is taken across the two anodes of the 7360, and coupled to the four pole crystal f ilter by means of T l.

    the bias on CR6 is taken from a fixed center-tap on R48, so that the frequency is independent of the setting of the RECEIVER OFFSE T tuning control. The r eceiver and transmitter will operate on the same frequency when the control is set at mid-rotation (center line on panel). VOX CIRC UIT A six pole relay controls the voltage and biases to the various stages of the transceiver , and deter mines whether the unit is in the receive or transmit condition.
  • Page 13: Alignment Procedure

    RECEIVE R ALIGNMENT a) IF Strip The transceiver should be connected to the EICO 751 (or 752) power supply. There should be no microphone connected to the unit at this time. Before turning the unit on, set the controls as follows: MIC GAIN .
  • Page 14 3. Apply an unmodulated 7. OOMc signal to the ANTE NNA connector on the rear apron. This signal should be quite weak (approximately lOOuV), which may require very loose coupling between the signal generator or oscillator to the transceiver. 4. Set the FUNCTION switch at STANDBY, and af ter one or two minutes of warmup, turn it to PTT.

    Set the FUNC TION switch at STANDBY, and, af ter one or two minutes of war m-up, reset the FUNC TION switch at PTT. Depress the microphone PTT button, and adjust the rear apron BIAS control for a meter reading of 50mA. Release the mic rophone PTT button.
