GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1. Radio Receiver BC-225-Tl •

.!• Use. Radio Receiver BC-225-Tl is of the metal-tube, integral-coil superheterodyne type, intended for aircraft and vehicular use where remote control is required. It provides reception of modulated (phone-tone) signals over the frequency band or 190-400 , 2500-8000 kc when connected to a primary d-e source (storage battery) whose voltage is 11 to l4 volts. It eliminates the necessity tor using plug-in coil sets by including all necessary coils in a compact form inside the receiver.

J2_. Frequency Bands. The spectrum or 190-400 , 2500-8000 kc is covered in four bands without the use of plug-in coil sets and is divided as follows:

Band Nominal Frequency Band 1 190-400 kc 2 2500-3700 kc 3 3700-5500 kc 4 5500-8000 kc

Further, in to secure the ma:r.:).'11U"1 of frequency stability the complete r-£ oscillator assembly is in a shielded, heat-in:nuated compar'bnent end mo.L'ltained at a temperature o£ 120 degrees F. Air-trimmer condensers are used .exclusivt-ly to insure that the maximwn of frequency stability is secured. 'J.Tnese air trimmers may be locked in place once they have been set, thus vibration and jarring should not impair receiver performance or necessitate frequent readjustment. While the use of air triromers of this type results in a considerably larger receiver than can be constructed using leaf-type mica

the disadvantage of increased size is eiilply repai u.

(3) Radio Frequency Stage. The r-£ stage is of the inductively c?upled, tuned-grid t,rpe, employing a 6K7 vacuum tube, ganged and tuned

both the oscillator and first detector stages. The automatic-volume-control voltage is applied to the grid return in such a manner that it does not interfere with the normal biasing secured by means of a "H. V." bleeder. Thus effective control of radio-frequency sensitivity is secured.

(4) First Detector (Mixe..cl_. The tube employed in this stage, a 6L7, is particularly suitable for use as a mixer, especially at high frequencies. The stage comprises a variable tuned-grid circuit, inductively couf .. led to the r-f amplifier stage, and a fixed tuned-plate circuit, coupled into the first i-f transformer. Grid bias is provided by means of a voltage-bleeder resistor and automatic-volume-control voltage is applied to the grid.

(5) Radio Freguengy Oscillator. This stage employs a 605 tube i n & modified Hartley circuit, directly coupled to the injector grid of the mixer tube. It is tracked with both the r-f amplifier stage and the first detector stage.

(6) Intermediate Frequency .Amglifiers·. The circuits for these amplif"iers are essentially the same, employing 6K7 tubes in a tuned-grid tuned-plate arrangement. The rrequency employed is 470 kc. The input to the first of the two amplifiers is inductively coupled from the mixer

Iron-core intermediate-frequency transformers are employed. The gB.lll of both stages is controlled by the automatic-volume- control volta.ge, and fixed bias i s secured by means of a voltage bleeder. In addition, tne cathode of the first i-f tube is. returned to the variable portion of' the r-r cathode resistance and hence varied simultaneously, permitting manual control of sensitivity.

(7) Second Detector and First Audio Ampli£ier. This stage employs a duo-diode triode tube of the 6Q7 type, utilizing the diode pl ates for i-f detection and the triode portion for audio amplification.

(8) Automatic Volume Control System. This stage employs a sharp cut-of£ triode tube of the 6J7 inductively coupled from the last i-f transformer by means of a third winding isolated from the normal

channel. By maintaining the plate of this tube it l. s possible to secure improved au tom a tic volume control nth 't?e mmJ.lllUlll of complication. The bias is 80 adjusted that delayed automatJ.c volume control starts at approximately 60-mw output. The time constant on phone signals is approximately 1/10 of a second.

10 Connection of Chassis to Power Supply and Control Box.

!!• Power Unit PE-( ) • Attach this power supply directly to the receiver cabinet by means of three threaded studs projecting from the front panel of the receiver. This requires removal of the front cover of the power wit. When in place, the power unit is electrically connected to the receiver by means of the special plug in corpora ted within the shielded housing. Attach the remote-control cable into the socket located on the bottom of the Power Unit PE-( ) .

the radio receiver outlet marked "Tuning" and to the input s pline on the control box, taking care that the alignment of the tuning condenser on the receiver and the tuning dial on the control box correspond in the following manner: With the tuning condenser of the receiver at the minimum position, the calibrated dial located in the remote-control position should indicate the highest frequency on Band #1. A pointer is provided on the variable condenser to indicate when the condenser is set at this position. A window is provided in the receiver cabinet to permit installation with the receiver in its housing. The remote "Band Change" shaft is attached to the remaining two spline outlets which correspond to the position for Band #1. (When removing this remote shuft, care should be taken to always turn the band-change mechanism to #1 position.) Attach the battery cable to the socket located in the bottom side of the control box, connecting the ends with terminals to a source of voltage between 11 and 15 volts.

11 Connection o£ Antenna and Ground. Attach an antenna to the post marked ANT whose capacity does not exceed 200 mu mu f maximum or 50 mu mu f minimum, connecting a ground wire to the post marked GND.

12 Connection of Headphones. Insert a pair of headphones or a loud speaker into the phone jacks whose impedance does not depart materially from the range 1500 to 7000 ohms for maximum power transfer •
