which will be covered later.
Local oscillator
energy is coupled to the base of the other driver, Q-
118.
The gain of this stage is determined by the ratio of feedback resistor
R190 to input resistor R187; C174 and C176 are merely DG blocking capacitors.
The emitter of the stage is bypassed conventionally.
Output
is
taken fr om
the collector through a winding of the transmit mixer, Zl02, a doubly balan-
ced mixer assembly identical to thatused for AIOl.
L.O. drive is connected to Zl02
through an
amplifier/buffer network
contained on the exciter board also.
Signal from
the
local
oscillator
board is applied to buffer Ql14 via
c164.
Output is taken from the R165
portion of
the emitter resistance,
and coupled through R166 and C163 to
the
counter board,
to provide
the
L.O.

signal 'for

dial ,while the remainder of the em-
itter resistance,
R164, is bypassed
by c162.
Signal
is also
taken from the
collector of Ql14,
coupled. through
C165,
and
applied
to the
base of
Ql15.
The emitter resistor of this
stage is
unbypassed,
creating some
degree of degenerative feedback, and
the output is taken via C174 and R187 to the mixer driver, Ql18.

Tt is coupled via CI08
and ClIO to
the input
of the band

filters
when the "T"
line is high,
biasing switch CRI09 on through LI02
and Rl13.
Since the "R" line is low
under transmit conditions, the volt-

Rl13
reverse
biases receive switch CRI08, discon-
necting the
receiver input Îrom the
preselector.
