Information

The four bands or frequency ranges of the Receiver are selected by the BAND SELECTOR. Four individual dial scales permit the frequency of reception to be read directly from the general coverage dial. Any narrow range of frequencies in the entire frequency spectrum covered by the Receiver may be spread out electrically with the BAND SPREAD control. This feature provides more desirable tuning in the short wave broadcast ranges and particularly in the amateur bands. The general coverage dial setting for the amateur bands is shown on the dial scale (Heavy black bars) for convenience in setting up the Receiver for amateur band reception. Speaker or headset reception is available at the operator’s discretion. The selection of each is made by a slide switch located on the panel. The speaker unit is built into the cabinet, the headset is plugged into the pin jack receptacles located on the rear chassis apron. The AM/CW switch permits reception of either radio telephone or c-w code signals. The RECEIVE/STANDBY switch permits the operator to disable the Receiver for short standby periods yet maintain the tube heaters at operating temperature for immediate operation, The Receiver normally operates from .1 105-125 V, DC (Direct Current) or 60 cycle AC (Alternating Current) power source. To place the Receiver in operation it is merely necessary to connect a suitable Antenna to the Antenna terminals located on the rear chassis apron and plug the power plug into the wall outlet. Refer to the installation details that follow especially to the paragraph on "POWER SOURCE”, before connect into the Receiver to the wall outlet and avoid an necessary and perhaps costly repa1rs.
