steel washers, #6 lockwashers, and 6-32
nuts.
( ) Mount the bottom plate to the chassis with
#6 sheet metal screws.
( ) Place the cabinet cover over the chassis
and secure it on each side with two 6-32
x 1/ 4" painted truss head screws.
NOTE: The blue and white identification label
shows the Model Number and Production Series

CONTROLS
INSTALLATION
AND
OPERATION
AM OPERATION
AF GAIN - Turns the Receiver ON or OFF, and
varies the volume in the speaker or head-
phones.
RF GAIN- Varies the amount of gain in the RF
and IF amplifier stages.
BFO TUNE - Makes it possible to tune the in-
jected BFO signal either side of the IF center
frequency for Single Side Band (SSB) and CW
reception.
BAND - Selects one of the five Amateur bands.:
80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters.
CAL RESET - Provides fine adjustment of the
oscillator portion of the tuning capacitor for
calibration points.
ANT TRIM - Peaks the signal at the frequency
being received.
MAIN TUNING - Tunes in the desired station,
MUTING - Muting provisions have been in-
corporated in this Receiver. The jumper in-
stalled in the octal plug in a previous step
should be removed and replaced with two sep-
arate wires. These wires are then connected to
an antenna relay so that when the relay is in the
receive position, the wires are shorted to-
gether activating the Receiver; when the relay is
in the transmit position, the wires are open
muting the Receiver.· When this method of
muting is used the STBY-REC switch is left
in the RE C position.
STBY-REC Switch - REC
CAL -OFF Switch - OFF
BAND Switch - Desired Band
BFO-OFF Switch - OFF
AVC-ON Switch - ON
RF GAIN - Maximum clockwise
ANL-OFF - OFF
AF GAIN - Comfortable listening level
( ) Rotate the MAIN tuning capacitor until an
AM signal is tuned in. Proper tuning of the
AM signal will be indicated by maximum
deflection of the "S" meter.
( ) Rotate the ANT TRIM capacitor for maxi-
mum signal
str~ngth.
Once this adjustment
has been made,: it should not be necessary
to readjust it except when changing bands.
NOTE: When listening to an extremely strong
signal, the RF GAIN control should be "backed
off," turned counterclockwise, to prevent block-
ing of the Receiver.
CW OPERATION
STBY-REC Switch - REC
CAL-OFF Switch - OFF
BAND Switch - Desired band
BFO-OFF - BFO
BFO-TUNE - 12 o'clock
AVC-OFF - OFF
RF GAIN - Comfortable listening
AF GAIN- 3 o'clock
