The signal from the crystal filter is fed to the
control grid of the first IF amplifier tube V3,
The amplified signal from V3 is coupled through
capacitor C31
to the control grid of the second
IF amplifier tube, V4,
From the plate of tube V4 the IF signal is coupled

AVC AND ANL CIRCUITS
With the AVC {automatic volume control) switch
turned on, some of the signal from the plate of
tube V4 is rectified by crystal diodes CRi and

the control grid of tubes V1, V3, and V4, This
AVC
voltage controls the amount of amplification
of these tubes, providing a more constant signal
level at the speaker,
With the ANL
(automatic noise limiter) switch
turned on, diodes CR5
and CR6
are connected
into the circuit, These diodes,
which limit the
peaks of the AF signal, clip off the noise pulses
such as static and ignition noise, that are often
present on the signai,
