When I was young(er), amplitude modulation meant exactly that: carrier amplitude varying with modulation.

The scope shows the resultant of the carrier and both sidebands added together vectorially. A spectrum analyzer would show a constant amplitude carrier in the center of the A.M. spectrum. There is a good description of the process at the Agilent site. Google a.m. phasor diagram Click on "Spectrum analysis AM and FM HP T&M Application Note 150-1" Beginning on page 48 of the pdf file is a description of the a.m. spectrum, based on phasor diagrams. 73, Ed Knobloch Lynn Coffelt wrote: > Wohoooo here, maybe, since I caught this thread in mid stream, I am out > of place, but Don, your last sentence, "Do remember that the carrier > amplitude does NOT vary with modulation." doesn't sound like high level > amplitude modulation. > > When I was young(er), amplitude modulation meant exactly that: carrier > amplitude varying with modulation.

This is the one with digital readout. The transceiver has been stored for around 10 years and not been used a lot. It is from an estate. It looks and works great. It has full output from the original tubes. It would be near perfect except that the plastic extension for the Noise Blanker toggle switch has come off. This is a push on type extension and can be easily replaced. The NB switch can be operated like it is. The original manual is included along with the AC Power Plug. Price is $345.

I have the formulas for the minimum loss pads, but they would require a second fixed attenuator to set the dB loss to the -20dB I desire. I'm looking to build some 50 ohm to various higher impedances for use on my signal generators to match the higher impedances found on boatanchors, etc. Or, would it just be easier to use a minimum loss pad with a second symetrical pad to get the desired loss?

I like to use RF transformers with half the attenuation on each side to insure the proper levels and isolation. The first ones I wound were on the six hole ferrites for 50 Ohms one on side, and 75 Ohms on the other. By tapping it at five turns you get a 1.2 -1.0 turn ratio, or, 1.2 * 1.2 * 50 = 70 ohms. Toroids are better for some ratios and frequencies. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A.

Terrell > Central Florida RF transformers would be okay if using the dBm scale, since power is a constant. For uV measurements they won't work, since the voltage will be stepped up in the matching. i.e. the uV reading on the generator will not be the same as the reading on the antenna terminals. A 20 dB pad gives the same voltage reading (by a factor of ten) permitting the attenuator scale to be reading without involving winding ratios, etc. Also, a 20 dB attenuator virtually assures both devices will be looking into a close match.

You need a really good generator ( preferablly with a digital display ) to properly do the alignment. It could be that the crystal has changed thus causing the discrepencies on the various switch settings. I am betting that a critical alignment will make things clear.

While it does reduce noise it doesn't enhance the ability to ID a station. It is kind of cool for taking the tones off WWV. These things really shine when using the digital modes, so I'm told.

Bruce in alaska -- add a <2> before @ Article: 101863 of rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors From: gene@csl.uiuc.edu (Gene Gardner) Subject: SWAN-500C Improvments Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 19:34:34 +0000 (UTC) Message-ID: Although I have a later digital transceiver (Icom-751), I recently acquired a Swan-500-C from an estate. It had been in storage for 25 years. I have had fun working on it's quirks and returning it to very good performance, even by today's standards: The first quirk was not staying on frequency (not related to time/heat drift). Slightly wiggling the bandswith knob caused slight changes in voice pitch. And what was worse (and intolerable in a group discussion) was that often Transmit on a slightly different frequency than it received on. A change of more than 100 Hz or so is usually intolerable. My initial thought was oxidized bandswith contacts. I bought some "Deoxit" at Radio Shack dowsed all the contacts except the ones in the VFO compartment. This may have helped slightly but problem was essentially the same. Then I "Deoxed" the bandswitch contacts in the VFO compartment which I SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE, because the material is a different plastic and was severely affected. It changed the frequencies by more than 30 KHz...probably by changing the dielectric constant of the plastic material. I quickly rinsed this off with FREON-TF and frequencies returned almost to where they were before. The original problem still mostly existed after all the contact cleaning. I had even used "PB-Blaster" rust solvent from Auto-Zone on the main bandswitch (not the VFO) which made no noticeable difference. I finally flushed all the contact cleaners back off with FREON-TF which pretty pretty much leaves them clean and dry. HERE'S WHAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN THE MOST SIGNIFICANT "REAL" PROBLEM: While trouble-shooting the problem, I monitored the actual VFO frequency (which is always the operating frequency plus or minus 5500 KHz in "Normal" sideband), with my Icom-751 listening as a frequency-meter: I found that tightening, or loosening the mechanical linkage between the two band-switches (VFO and lower gang), the "pitch" of tone I was listening to on the Icom changed by about the same 100 or 200 Hz as exhibited in the origanal problem. The long band-switch shaft passes through several wafer sections and is only grounded near the knob and de-tent assembly which provides a poor and un-reliable ground. (Slightly wiggling the band-switch knob always caused a significant change in the tone pitch I was monitoring). Apparently, when the shaft was not firmly grounded, it provided a capacitive- coupling path between certain wafers that caused the problem. AS A CURE, I soldered a flexible jumper (Pig-tail) between the lower shaft and chassis ground, and also a jumper on the larger section of the mechanical linkage above the chassis to ground. On a different aspect of improving the SWAN-500 performance, I used and external wall-receptacle-mounted transformer to light a 12 volt auto tail/stop light and placed it against the VFO compartment to simulate heat when the transceiver has been on for awhile. Although probably not necessary, I took the opportunity to negative-rectify this 12 volts and send it in one of the accessory socket pins (I don't have the pin# handy, but it goes the 25W 10-volt zener(-10v) mounted under the chassis. You may have to limit the current to the zener with a resistor if your voltage is excessive. This keeps the transistorized VFO section running at all times. I have found that remarkably, there is virtually no warm-up time required for SSB standards operation...comparable to the digital frequency-synthesized more modern transceivers. Of course you disconnect the external heat while operating the transceiver. If better voice quality is your preference, the SWAN provides this by using a wider crystal-filter band-pass of 2.7 KHz which is noticeably better than the Icom-751 which is 2.3 KHz bandwidth, and some transceivers even use 2.1 KHz. Perhaps I should add a cautionary risk-warning for the less experienced who choose to energize the VFO during off-hours as described above: During normal operation on mine, the current to the -10v zener set the voltage at -10.1 volts. When I substituted an external source when the transceiver was turned off, I selected a resistor to supply enough current to read -9.9 volts at the zener....thus ensuring that the current is not excessive. Accordingly, you should be sure to disable the external current supply (and heater light) before you turn on the transceiver to prevent BOTH currents energizing the zener. It would probably tolerate it temporarily but if it were destroyed so as to "open up", the soaring negative voltage might destroy the VFO transistors. A wide variety of external power sources could be accommodated...AC or DC, but if AC is used, it will require an external rectifier with the Cathode toward the transformer, and Anode toward the internal zener. No filtering required. In my particular case, I had a unit labeled 13.5 vdc @ 1A. On the auto brake/park bulb, I chose to solder to the two lead contacts (ignoring the shell). This runs the Brake and Park filaments in series and of course most of the illumination is the Park filament only. My voltage across these measured 11.25 volts dc but of course it could also be 11.25 ac. Although with my negative dc supply, I didn't need the rectifier diode, but I used one anyway as a precaution against accidentally reversing the dc supply. As noted above, this amount of heat seems to simulate the normal operating heat quite well since I experience virtually no warm-up time required for freqeuncy stability. On accessory socket J6 on the Swan 500-C, chassis ground is pin #9 and the external zener current goes to pin #3 or #4 (They are jumpered together in the octal plug) and of course you leave the plug inserted. For other Swans that might have different wiring, the zener is a 25 watt, insulated, stud-mounted 1N2974-A. ---------------------------------------------------------- A couple of other tips that might be useful to some: Although my receiver was functioning satisfactoriy, the S-meter readings seemed stingy compared to my Icom. Removing a capacitor is an easy fix for this: The high-end of the Audio Gain pot (R-1201) has a capacitive-divider of two .001uf's in series which divide down the audio voltage derived in the Product Detector. This midpoint goes to AGC amplifier/detector (pin#8 V-11, 6BN8) to generate the AGC. Simply removing the lower (grounded) .001uf, C-1104 allows much more audio to generate AGC without affecting anything else. In my case, this makes the S-meter readings more normal, and better AGC control of signal levels. Another change I did was to lengthen the AGC time-constant which seemed much faster than the Icom (I use it excusively in SSB mode). They used .01uf, C-901, from pin#6, V-11, 6BN8, to ground. I added an additional .05uf across it for a longer release-time. Although the Swan-500 is usually sufficient at its higher power levels, I prefer to use mine to drive a Linear Power Amplifier. Even so, I prefer to leave a 50 ohm dummy load paralled at its output to ensure stability at light loading...the two 6LQ6's are still not working very hard and should last a long time. The dummy load does not affect the Receive sensitivity noticeably. An Electret type element provides a high quality, low cost microphone for many purposes, including some amateur radio transceivers. They might also be referred to as a "capacitor mike". The element is small, about the size of a large pea. Radio Shack doesn't sell them anymore but several types are available >from Mouser Electronics (no minimum order). My version had 5" leads, and required only +2v to +10v supply ( at 1/3 milliamp). The shield on the output cable is also grounded to the case. It delivers about 140 mv P-P when capacitively coupled to a high-impedance load. A SWAN-500C has about a 1Meg input, and its microphone gain can be set at about 50%. With +6v, the electret's output is about the same as a typical Ceramic type microphone. An Electret's output is quite high fidelity, essentially flat from 100Hz to 5000Hz. (Cost $3.40 +shpg). My contention is (at least in theory),that if you offer the full hi-fi range of audio input to the transceiver, the resulting fidelity being transmitted is virtually dictated by the response curve of the steep-skirted SSB Crystal Filter. For example, the SWAN-500C has an SSB filter 2.7 KHz wide. (i.e. 5500.3 KHz to 5503.0 KHz), and their reference crystal oscillator of 5000.0 KHz provides an ulimate audio range of 300 Hz to 3000 Hz which is quite good for voice communication. On the other hand, if an SSB filter is only 2.1 KHz wide, you must be very selective in choosing the reference crystal oscillator....you can decide whether to utilize that smaller width to emphasize low-freqency audio response, or high- frequency response, but you can't have both. You could choose 300 to 2400 Hz, OR 1000 to 3100 Hz, for example.

Article: 101867 of rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors From: "Charlie Hugg" Subject: FS Palomar VLF Converter Message-ID: Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 20:53:50 -0600 FS is a Palomar Engineers VLF Converter. These converters are used to allow reception of low frequencies from 10 to 500KHzs on receivers and transceivers that don't go that low. It is operated off of a 9 volt transistor battery and is easy to use. Below are the directions for use: Connect an antenna to the "10-500 KHz Antenna" connector. Connect a shielded cable from the "3.5-4 MHz Out" connector to a receiver that tunes 3500-4000 KHz. Clip a 9-volt transistor battery to the leads and slip it into the holder on the converter. Turn the switch to "ON". Tune the receiver to 3500 KHZ where a strong carrier should be heard - this is the converter local oscillator. Tune the receiver up from 3500 kHZ. The VLF signals heard will be at the dial reading less 3500 KHZ. This converter is used and in very good condition. Price is $45 plus shipping.
