Introduction

We have received so many hundreds of requests for circuit diagrams of surplus equipment that we a r e prepar ing this book in self defense. In it you will find, in addition to the circuit, some info which should be helpful in getting you s t a r t e d on a conversion. Please keep in mind that CQ is always interested in the result of your efforts. Many of these Sows' Ears make wonderful Silk P u r s e s , and should your feet t r o d firmly over unfamiliar t e r r i t o r y in the jaunt why not (once you have untangled the above metaphors) t r a c e out a map for the following tourist. CQ Pays for Articles. With just ordinary luck you can get back many times the price of t h i s book.

A P A -38

The APA-38 is a Panoramic adaptor which, when connected to your receiver w i l l let you observe the modulation characteristics of received signals and displays visually all signals present in the passband of the receiver IF. The APA-38 was originally used with the APR-1 and APR-4 Receivers for identification of enemy radar signals. The adaptor may be connected to any communications receiver by tapping into the plate of the f i r s t detector (mixer); don't forget to use a blocking condenser and coaxial cable such a s R G - 5 8 / ~ . Since the adapter input is a t 30 mc, the IF of the APR-1, you will have to convert from your receiver IF to 30 mc. The APA-38 has an IF of 6.5 mc.
A sweeping oscillator is used to convert the incoming signal, and the sweep voltage is also applied to the scope for synchronization. Provision is made for use of the scope a s an oscilloscope for the examination of pulses. The APA-38 R F circuits a r e stagger tuned to provide the wide response desired.

The sweep oscillator may be reduced in frequency coverage to allow a closer examination of a particular portion of the band. This effectively expands the center portion of the band under exam ination.

The APR -1 is a Naval A i r F o r c e VHF-UHF r a d a r s e a r c h receiver covering the frequency range of 80 m c to 950 m c in two bands. The basic receiver, without plug-in tuning unit is the CPR-46 ABC. It is essentially a n I F amplifier detector audio-video amplifier having a 30 m c input to the I F amplifier. The output impedance is 600 ohm audio and 100 ohm video. A 1000 cycle audio tone can be used a s a BFO if a cw signal is being received. The 80 to 370 m c tuning unit is designated CPR-47 AAE and the 290 t o 950 m c band is covered by the CPR-47 A A F tuning unit. Signals can be picked up a s high as 2850 m c using harmonics of the oscillator. power consumption i s 6.25 a m p e r e s a t 12 volts using the internal dynamotor. Provisions have been made f o r a n external power supply to provide 6 volts a c o r dc for the filaments and 250 volts f o r the plate supply.

Schematic Circuit Diagram of Type CPR-46ABC Radio Receiver Model APR-1 Equipment.

The ARC -1 is an airborne transmitter receiver covering a frequency range of 100 to 156 mc. It is crystal controlled and uses t h e same crystal for control of the transmitter and receiver. The IF is 9.75 mc. Power output is 8 watts. The equipment is amplitude modulated. A guard channel is also monitored during reception. The receiver is a conventional superhet, using a crystal multiplication of 18 to obtain the mixing frequency for the proper IF output. On transmit t h e heterodyne oscillator is mixed witb a 9.72 mc signal to obtain the same output frequency.

The equipment is capable of operation on ten channels, each channel being selected with a pre-determined setting of the auto-tune dials. The equipment is designed for remote operation in a plane and requires 28 volts a t 7 amperes during reception, and ten amperes on transmit. For short durations during transmission, when switching channels, a s much a s 15 amperes may be required. The input is 50 ohms coaxial to a whip antenna, and the output i s normally to a headset. A .carbon microphone is normally employed with the equipment. Crystals used in the ARC -1 are in the range of 5000 to 8120 mc. The oscillator is below the signal.

Tne ARC -3 is bas~callya n airborne radio transmitter-receiver equipment which, witn accessories, provides a i r to a i r and a i r to ground communications. I t nas also been used in some shipboard installations. I t operates in t h e VHF region over the frequency range 100 to 156 mc on eight pre-set frequencies, each of wnich i s crystal controlled. The ARC-3 is tone o r voice modulated (AM). It operates from a nominal 28 volts dc a t a current of 5.5 a m p e r e s on receive and 12 amperes on transmit. The power output is approximately 8 watts. The transmitter uses nine tubes and is crystal controlled a t a frequency 1/18th of the output. The modulator Is capable of operation a s an interphone amplifier when desired. This is accomplished by a positioning switch (S-103) located at the bottom of the transmitter and accessible from without. A barometric (aneroid) gain control reduces the audio by 6 db at 15,000 feet and 12 db a t 25,000 feet. Also in the modulator i s a sidetone amplifier which can provide 0. 8 watts of audio. The transmitter voltage requirements a r e 2.45 amperes a t 28 volts and 325 ma at 410 volts for full power output. The receiver is known as the R - ? ~ / A R c - ~ is a superheterodyne, crystal and controlled with an intermediate frequency of 12 megacycles. The oscillator is on the low side and the crystal used is multiplied from eleven to eighteen times, depending upon the desired receiver frequency. A noise limiter, c a r r i e r operated squelch, and AVC are provided to produce a fine piece of equipment. In addition, a flat response between 90 and 150 cycles is provided to allow the use of received navigational signals. T h e receiver power requirements a r e 28 volts at 3.5 amperes and 210 volts a t 125 ma.

220 mc conversion (the only practical band to use this unit on). For this conversion the RF coils can be squeezed a bit and an external oscillator fed into J-106. This oscillator may tune either 221-225 mc o r 219 to 224 mc.

The earlier model of this equipment, the ARR-1, was quite similar circuitwise, but used acorn tubes.

The ARN-7 is an aircraft receiver used primarily for radio direction finding by aircraft. It is a superheterodyne receiver and covers the frequency range of 100 to 1750 kc in four bands. It normally operates from a power supply of 115 volts 400 cycles and a 28 volt supply for the operation of certain relays. When a supply of 12 volts is the only d. c. available the RA -59-A is employed for relay control in addition to the 115 volt 400 cycles. The receiver required a control box C - ~ / A R N - 7for tuning and operation. Several loop antennas a r e available such a s the LP-21 and the LP-31. A sense antenna is required for proper operation of the direction finder as well. The output is to headsets as well as to indicators when the loop antenna is used. It is not ne.cessary to make use of the loop antenna if direction finding characteristics are not required. The indicators used a r e the I-81-A and I-81-N panel type and the I-82-A and I D - ~ ~ / A Rnavigators type compass indicator. The indicators N indicate the true null bearing of the direction finding loop. The nulling of the loop antenna is either manual, o r automatic. When automatic direction finding is employed the loop antenna w i l l automatically locate the station to which the receiver is tuned.

It covers the frequency range of 2000 to 18,100 kc Some versions have an additional low frequency band of 200 to 1500 kc. The equipment uses an external dynamotor power supply providing 400 volts dc a t 225 ma and 1250 volts a t 250 ma. This is in addition to the 28 volts dc for the operation of the tube filaments and motors. The equipment is preset to any frequency within the range specified and may be automat-

ically tuned upon selection of a particular channel by the radio operator. The power output is approximately 200,-watts from an 813. The unit uses a VFO, but h a s a crystal calibrator included to check the frequency. At high altitudes a switch is actuated to reduce power. Output is either CW o r voice, amplitude modulated and keying is'accomplished by means of a keying relay.

The BC-375, built by GE, building 89, 1 River Road, Schenectady, N. y,, is an archaic behemoth whose design was finalized in 1935, and was produced in tremendous quantities for war destruction in planes and other expendable vehicles. The design engineers responsible almost had heart attacks when they received an ARC-5 for test comparison and found it to be a fraction of the s i z e and weight, infinitely m o r e stable and put out m o r e power.
The BC-375 is designed for 28 volts; the BC -191 for 1 4 volts, otherwise they a r e almost identical. There a r e a few moderately usable p a r t s in the transmitter and t h e tuning units make nice cabinets.

T h e s e equipments a r e r e c e i v e r s used f o r communications purposes. They a r e basically identical in appearance, T h e B C -312 is a s u p e r heterodyne r e c e i v e r covering a frequency range of 1500 to 18,000 kc. It operates from a 12 volt s o u r c e (dc) a t about 7 1/2 a m p e r e s , f o r those models with thermostatic h e a t e r s . f o r oscillator stability, and about 4 5 a m p e r e s f o r those models without such heaters. An a c model, operating a t 110 volts a c i s known a s the BC-342. Those models using h e a t e r s consume about 100 watts, while those without use about 75 watts. T h e intermediate frequency is 470 kc. T h e BC-314 is the low frequency counterpart of the BC-312. It operates over a frequency range of 150 to 1500 kc. It has an I F of 92.5 kc. T h e BC-314 has an a c counterpart in the BC-344,

The BC-438 is a heterodyne frequency meter with a range from 195-215 mc. It uses a crystal a t 4.1 mc to provide a 20.5 mc standard frequency (205 mc tenth harmonic) and a variable 19.5 21. 5 mc oscillator to z e r o beat the unknown signal for measurement (again using the tenth harmonic of the oscillator) o r for providing a signal for receiver adjustments.

The BC-474-A is a portable AM radio transmitter-receiver covering the frequency range of 2.3 to 6. 5 mc. It is capable of operation on both CW and voice. Power is supplied by a 90 volt dry cell and a 1.5 volt dry cell, or a hand generator, GN-44-A for the transmitter. Transmitter output is rated a t 4 watts. A 35 foot antenna and a 35 foot counterpoise a r e required f o r proper output and operation. The receiver is a superheterodyne with an IF of 455 kc. The input is to an R F stage and the output to one o r two pairs of high impedance headsets. T h e transmitter is VFOtd and uses a separate power amplifier for the output stage. The power amplifier is keyed f o r CW operation.

While it is possible to use the BC-610 with the tuning boxes, the stability resulting is not corlsistent with current amateur standards and w i l l probably lead to considerable correspondence with FCC monitoring stations plus rapidly deteriorating neighbor relations due to TVI, BCI, HAI, EOI, etc. Ad Nauseum. 4 screws remove the tuning box assembly. It is a simple matter to drive the transmitter with a low power VFO by mounting a SO-239 connector on the exciter deck and driving the 807 buffer-multiplier.

The BC-620 is a low power, frequency modulated transmitter-receiver unit, covering the frequency range of 20 to 27.9 mc. It operates on two preset c r y s t a l controlled frequencies, which a r e selected by a front panel switch. It is designed to operate from batteries o r a six o r twelve volt power supply system. It was originally intended for mobile o r portable use, The receiver is a superheterodyne with a 2.88 m c intermediate frequency. The receiver local oscillator is crystal controlled. The transmitter operates with a VFO. The VFO is held on the proper frequency by a reactance tube which is in turn operated by receiving a s m a l l portion of the transmitted frequency, and correcting the VFO to IF. Transmitter power output is approximately one watt. The receiver uses crystals in the frequency range of 5.7067 m c to 8.340 mc. The power requirements of the BC-620 a r e a s follows:

In case the red dot has worn off, its proper position can be found by fully meshing the capacitor. The end of the slot near the 0 of the 0-6 scale is the end that should carry the red dot.

The BC-640 is a ground type, rack-mounted transmitter f o r the 100 to 156 m c band for general communications with a i r c r a f t It is amplitude modulated, providing 50 watts output over the band. Provision is made for the use of tone modulation when M C W operation i s necessary, Operation is crystal controlled, with frequency changing being accomplished by changing the crystal and the circuits. Crystals used a r e in the 5555.5 to 8666.6 m c range, for a total

multiplication of 18 times. Various sections make up the complete transmitter and each is individually removable f o r repairs. Input power is 110/220 volts 60 cycles single phase. Minor differences exist between various models such a s the addition of dial locks, and the reduction in the number of m e t e r s employed in t h e RC-640(R\ This is the biggest, most powerful TVI generator ever built, and w i t h slight modification will be able to completely blank out a l l vhf and uhf channels f o r miles around. This gives TVI even when turned off.

The BC-645 i s an airborne IFF transceiver f o r 470-495 mc and transmitted either a pulse o r rriodulated CW signal (30 kc). This unit can be converted for 420 m c ham use, r a t h e r easily. F o r conversion details, s e e CQ, December, 1956, P. 66.

The BC-653 is a vehicular transmitter receiver operating from either 12 o r 24v dc. On 12 volts the battery drain is 42 amperes while on 24 volts the drain is 30 amperes. Transmitter output is over the range of 2 to 4. 5 mc a t a cw power of 50 to 90 watts. Voice power output (AM) is approximately 1/4 of this. The receiver is the BC-652A and covers the range in two bands. The transmitter is the BC-653A. The antenna uses mast sections MS-49 to MS-53 inclusive and a base MP-37. A T-17 microphone is used for voice. A 200 kc crystal oscillator is built into this equipment to calibrate the transmitter. The receiver uses a 915 kc if. This is 400 lbs of nothing. Actually, it works pretty well but takes the patience of Job to s o r t out the millions of tuning units.

The receiver is a ten channel crystal superheterodyne capable of remote channel selection and operation. It includes a dynamotor enabling it to operate from a 13 volt dc supply. Some models were made f o r 24 volt systems a s well. An external power supply may b e used when desired. The intermediate frequency of the receiver is 30.2 m c and the receiver circuits incorporate a noise limiter, AVC, squelch and other features. The c r y s t a l oscillator operates in tne 4814.815 to 7777.778 kc range. Accessories include remote control devices and a gasoline generator. Many sectional R F stages were released to surplus, a t the termination of the contract.

RDC

The RDC (Navy) is a receiver for panoramic reception over the frequency range of 28. 5 to 140 mc, in three bands. Presentation is provided to an external oscilloscope. Scanning the frequency range is accomplished by a motor drive rotating the tuning capacitor-. The receiver is a superheterodyne with an IF of 5.25 mc. The output is video, after detection, and this is then provided to the oscilloscope for presentation. Synchronization signals a r e provided for the oscilloscope, but the oscilloscope must provide its own sweep source. The sweep recurrance is 15 cps and this provides 15 complete band inspections every second. Power input is 115 volts 60 cycles

This equipment is a multichannel a i r c r a f t communications equipment. Several different transmitters, r e c e i v e r s and a c c e s s o r i e s a r e provided to make the equipment extremely flexible. More amateur radio conversions have been accomplished on this equipment than on any other surplus yet available. T h e r e a r e many different rrrilihry designations for the units of SCR-274N, including: R-23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 148, BC-453, 454, 455, 456, 457, 458, 459, 451, 696, 946, T-18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, MD7, DM-33, DY-8, C-29, RE-2. Many of these numbers may be followed by the letter A , B, C, D, etc. Receiver audio output i s designed to match 8000 ohm headsets. Receivers with a Bsuffix, a l s o have 600 ohm output. When converting, i t i s usual to remove the adaptor box from the front panel and mount an Off -On switch, a volume control, a BFO switch and a phone jack in this space. All the connections for these a r e brought to the plug which mates with the adaptor box, greatly simplifying this operation. T r a n s m i t t e r s a r e capable of outputs up to 100 watts depending on the plate voltage used. The VFO units of this s e r i e s a r e remarkably stable, and r i v a l m o s t commercial equipment. They also have a high degree of linearity, and have been widely used by a m a t e u r s for sideband applications. Conversion of the transmitter and receiver units i s covered, almost to the point of exhaustion, in the book "Command Setsnwhich s e l l s f o r $1.50.

The MD-7 uses a pair of 1625's to modulate any of the ARC-5 transmitters. It is almost completely unused by amateurs except a s a source of parts, i. e. the modulation transformer can be quite handy.

The SCR-522 and SCR-624 a r e very similar in components and can be considered f o r practical purposes, to be identical The SCR-522 is primarily airborne. The equipment consists of s e v e r a l major components, the BC-624 receiver, the BC-625 transmitter and the power supply. They may be used independently o r together. The frequency range is 100 to 156 n ~ c . Reception is AM and four preset channels may be selected,

The receiver i s a superheterodyne with a 12 mc IF. Operation is crystal controlled using 8 to 8.72 m c crystals. Conversion to 2 meters, tunable is covered in CQ, July, 1947. The receiver incorporates squelch as well a s a noise limiter. AVC is employed a s well. Audio output is taken from the output t'ransforrrier, terminal 7 is 4000 ohms; terminal 6 is 300 ohms and terminal 5 is 50 ohms, with respect to ground.

The transmitter is crystal controlled, four channels. Second harmonic of the crystal oscillator is fed to two stages of t r i p l e r s and then to the final stage.

Wnen the transmitter is mounted within the FT-244.A rack a cam and shaft mechanism select the preset positions of both transmitter and receiver to accomplish tuning. An external meter is plugged in when tuning set-up is necessary. Total power requirements a r e

The AN/SPR-2 is classified as a radar receiver. I t s purpose was to intercept enemy radar signals f o r analysis preparatory to countermeasures. It covers the frequency range of 1000 to 6000 mc, but can be used to 10000 m c if the signals a r e which strong enough. Two tuning units a r e available, the T N - 5 6 / ~ ~ ~ - 2 covers 1000 t o 3000 mc, and the TN-57 which covers 3000 to 6000 mc. Higher frequency operation is possible because the antenna input is directly to the mixer and harmonics of the oscillator a r e used to convert the signal to the 30 m c IF. An output is provided, before detection, for a connection to a 30 m c panoramic adapter such as the APA-10.

TBS Receiver

The TBS receiver is a 60 to 80 mc crystal controlled superheterodyne. It employs a 5.3 mc IF and operates directly from 110 volts 60 cps. Each stage of the RF amplifiers, the mixer and the oscillator multiplier is separately tuned and metered whenever necessary.

The TBS includes a noise limiter, AVC, output meter and is designed to operate from 50 ohm coax. The output is 600 ohms. For conversion data, s e e CQ, May 1958, p. 55.
