Description

Specifications

Frequency range
10 kHz - 30 MHz
Frequency setting
By push-buttons or continuously by a single knob in 1 Hz, 10 Hz, or 100 Hz steps over the entire frequency range
Main tuning knob characteristics
  • SLOW: 2.5 kHz/turn,
  • MED: 25 kHz/turn,
  • FAST: 250 kHz/turn
Frequency accuracy
1x10^-7 over temperature range
Aging
Less than 3x10^-9 per day after three month of operation Modes of operation: CW, FSK, AM, USB, LSB, and ISB (with optional card)
Input impedance
50 ohm, SWR < 3 or high impedance, selectable Input protection: 30 V EMF behind 50 ohm continuously for up to 15 minutes
(no term)
Sensitivity::
  • A3J (bandwidth = 3 kHz) = 0.6 uV EMF for 12 dB SINAD,
  • A3 (bandwidth 6.8 kHz, m = 30%) = 3 uV EMF for 12 dB SINAD
IF selectivity (standard version)
Mode - 3 dB -60 dB Ratio
Very narrow +/- 150 Hz +/- 500 Hz 1:3.33
Narrow +/- 300 Hz +/- 850 Hz 1:2.83
Medium +/- 750 Hz +/- 1250 Hz 1:1.67
Wide +/- 3400 Hz +/- 4500 Hz 1:1.32
USB +250 and +3000 Hz -250 and +3500 Hz 1:1.36
LSB -250 and -3000 Hz +250 and -3500 Hz 1:1.36
Cross modulation
Wanted signal 300 uV EMF, unwanted signal more than 1 V EMF, m = 30 % to produce an output of 20 dB below the wanted signal output
Reciprocal mixing
With a wanted signal of 100 uV EMF in 3 kHz bandwidth, an unwanted signal 20 kHz removed must be more than 75 dB and typically 80 dB above the wanted signal to produce a noise level of 20 dB below the wanted signal output
Intermodulation (out of band)
Two 30 mV EMF signals separated and removed 20 kHz from the tuned frequency will produce less than -85 dB and typically -90 dB third order intermodulation
Intermodulation (in band)
Two 30 mV EMF signals within the IF bandwidth (SSB mode) giving AF output of 1100 Hz and 1700 Hz will produce less than -45 dB third order intermodulation at the line output (line level = 0 dBm)
IF attenuation
More than 100 dB
Image rejection
More than 100 dB
Spurious responses (1.6 - 30 MHz)
With a wanted signal giving 12 dB SINAD, unwanted signals more than 20 kHz removed from the tuned frequency must be more than 100 dB above the wanted signal to produce an equivalent output
Internally generated spurious signals
1.6 - 30 MHz
Not exceeding an equivalent aerial input of 0.2 uV EMF and maximum 8 responses not exceeding an equivalent aerial input of 0.9 uV EMF
10 kHz - 1.6 MHz
Not exceeding an equivalent aerial input of 0.5 uV EMF and maximum 2 responses not exceeding an equivalent aerial input of 0.9 uV EMF
AGC range
An increase of 120 dB from 2 uV EMF will produce an output level change of less than 3 dB
