S.S.B. Transceiver

BY WILFRED M. SCHERER ," W 2AEF

ON E of Heathkit' s newer units in their popu­

lar "SH" series is the SH·) )0 transceiverwhich in one package, (less power sup­

ply), provides full coverage on the 6-meter bandfor fixed-station or mobile use on s.s.b., c.w. ora.m. (s.s.b. with carrier). You don't need any ac­cessory trapping- translators. converters. linearamplifiers o r what -have-you, usually used withpresent gea r to get on 50 mc s.s.b,

Delivering 100 watts p.e.p. output with stableacc urately ca libra ted v.I.o. frequency co ntro love r the en tire 50-54 mc range, the 58- 110should set a new standa rd for this band . Let ustake a look at some of its other feature s and spec­ification that might put it in this category: Side­band generation and receiver selectivity obtainedwith a h.f. 2.1 kc crystal filter; Nuvistor front endwith sensitivity of 0.1 p'v for 10 db s./n . rat io ;preselector tuning; a.g.c.; automatic rece iver­frequency offset for c.w. operat ion; bu ilt-in crys­tal calibrator; v.f.o. stability 100 c.p.s. per hour;c.w. side tone monitor; headphone level control;p.t.t. or built-in v.c.x. ; V.O.x. type break-in forc.w. phone-patch input; upper or lower sidebandoperation; adjustable pi-output for 25-100 ohmloads: crystal-control operation for transceive orfor transmitter only; panel meter calibrated inS-units or transmitter funct ions (plate. a.l.c. orrelative power output ); and an effective noiselimiter. a feature missing on most s.s.b. trans­ceivers. There are two power suppl ies available.one for 120 v, a.c. operation. the other for 12v, d.c. mobile use.

Like most Heathkit products, the S8 -11Ocomes in kit form , enabling you to have the funand sa tisfaction of putt ing your own gear to­gether at a substantial saving in cost over factory­wired equipment. Although the set appears to bequite com plicated. it is not as difficult to bui ld asone might expect. This was borne out by an ex-

periment we tried; namely, turn ing the kit overto a novice to do the work. Happily this turnedout to be a successful proposition from which afew good lessons were learned.

Receiver Sect ion

A block diagram for the Su- t t0 is shown atfig . I. Double conversion is used for the receiverwi th the first conversion of 8.4-8.9 me obtainedhy heterodyning the input signa ls with a separatecrysta l (4 1.6-45.1 me) for each 500 kc band seg­ment. T he second i.f. is at 3.395 me, obtainedby mixing the 1st i.f. signals with 5.0-5.5 me sig­nals from the v.f.o. Side band selectivity is ob­tained with a 3.395 me crystal fi lter and the sig­nal is converted to audio by a product detecto r.

The r.f. stage is a neutra lized 6DS4 Nuvistor ,coupled to the mixer, ano ther 6D54, th rough adouble-tuned narrow-bandpass circuit which,instead of being broadbanded with fix-tuned cir­cu its. is resonated by a three-gang variable capac­itor to provide "preselector tuning:' This ar­rangement ensures better cross-modulationcharacteristics and maintains peak sensitivitywith minimum noise over the full range.

The 804-8.9 mc bandpass coupler after the lstmixer rejects all frequencies outside of this range,and an 8.5 mc trap in the antenna circuit rejectsinput signal s at the Lt.

The product detector is a ring-type "balancedmodulator" affair using four diodes, a methodwe've always found superior for exceptionallyclean s.s.b. demodulation.

Sidebands are changed by switching the b.f.o.frequency to either skirr of the filter. \Vhen thisis done. the frequency of the v.f.o. is automatic­ally shifted 10 eliminate retun ing. This is accom­plished with the sideband selector which activatesa diode switch that cuts in a capacitor, shiftingthe v.f.o. during l.s.b. operation.

on MARS frequencies the v.f.o. can be cut outwith an OSCILLATOR-MODE switch, substitu ting abuilt-in crystal oscillator. Crystal-control is thusobtained on the same frequency for both receiveand transm it. Another switch position providescrys ta l control for the transmitter only, withv.f.o. tuning retained for the receiver. An excel­lent feature is that the crysta l oscillator has atrimmer to permit ad justing the crys tal to exactfrequency.

The set is supplied with four crysta ls for theheterodyne oscilla tor to cover 50-52 me . For useat the top half of the band and for MARS wo rkbelow 50 me, additional heterodyning crys ta lsare required .

The automat ic noise limiter, one of the bestfor s.s.b .. is an Lt. type utilizing a pair of silicondiodes in a full -wave circuit shunted across thelast i.f. tran smformer.t An on-off switch is in­cluded.

Besides the customary a.f. gain contro l, thereis a separate screwdriver-ad just control to varythe high-impedance o utput level for comfo rtab leheadphone listening without changing th e normalloudspeaker level.

The c.w. carrier is obtained from a 3394.4 kccrysta l oscillator and is injected at the isolationa mplifie r. the gain of which can be adjusted witha DRIV E-lEVEL control to produce the requiredpower level for the final a mplifier. The C.W. car­rier frequency is 800 c.p.s. higher than when thereceiver is used in the u.s.b. posit ion. This pro­vides " frequency offset," so that when the re­ceiver is tu ned for an 800 cycle beat no te on ac.w. signal, the transmitter will automatically bezero beat wit h the signal for on-frequency op­eration.

Assembly

Except for the fi na l am plifier and the v.f.o.,all stages a re bu ilt o n fi ve prin ted-ci rcu it boards.This sim plifies the work which is furthe r m adeeasier wit h a preassem bled , factory-wired anda ligned v.f.o. A fte r the circuit boards have beenassembled and installed a lo ng with other chassiscomponents, the major pa n of the wo rk consistsof interconnecting the boards and panel controls.There a re two preassembled colo r-coded har­nesses provided for the job.

It took our neophyte 42 hours to put the5 8-110 together. Several additiona l hours wererequired on our pa rt to do som e trouble shoot­ing before the rig was al igned and workingproperl y; all due to the fact that although thestep-by-step instructions were clear and simpleenough. our "eager beaver" was too hasty, ad­mittingly neglectin g to carefully read a nd cor­rectly follow through with some of the steps . Healso. no doubt, tired by doing the work in theeveni ngs over st retch es o f 4-6 hours a t a time.

We therefore cannot em phas ize too stro nglythe necessity for tak ing enough time to studyeach assembly step thoroughly a nd to " think itth rough" before proceed ing. A lso, do not workmore than 1-2 hours at a clip, in order to m ini­mize the chance of errors due to fatigue. Re­member the o ld adage, "haste makes waste!"These suggestions apply to any kit work whetherit be simple or complicated, and regardless ofwhether you're a newcomer or a n o ld hand.

Let us now take a look at the results obta inedwith the finished p roduct. The receiver sensitlv­ity fo r the S B·110 was better than usually foundwith 6-meter gear, measuring within the rated0. 1 uv for 10 db s./n. a nd could be maintai nedover the whole band.

With a power-line input of 120 v.a.c., thetransmitter power o utput was 95 walts on c.w.(steady sta te- ra ted at 90 watts). 105 walls p.e.p.on s.s.b. and a .m., with a 52 wall carrier (ratingsare 100 and 50 walls respectively). Sideband sup­pression was sa me as on receive. carrier suppres­sion was at least 55 db down.

The 58·110 has been in regular use on the

ai r by one of our local 6-meter enthusiasts whois also a contest competitor. On-the-air reportsindicate excellent s.s.b. qual ity. while the sensi­tivity. stabi lity, ca libra tion and the noise limiterare part icularly super ior features. v .o.x. opera­tion was found to be good, except with the lower­level microphones where the v.o.x, ga in wasmargina l. Cvw. keying is every bit as good as thatcommon on the lower-frequency bands as longas good line voltage regulation is ava ilable, other­wise a frequency "lilt.. will be noted. The side­tone monito ring is a handy fea ture, althoughthere is some tone leakage that appears as alow-level backwave.

Since there are no provisions for normal a. rn .detection with the b.f.o. turned off, such signalshave to be read by tuning the receiver to exactzero bea t with the a.m. carrier. Although gooddemodulation can be obtai ned. occasiona l retun­ing may be required , should the n.m. signal driftor if one or more a.m. sta tions in a round-tableQSO are not all on the exact same frequency.

characteristic. Note that if a n input signal of 0 db( I mv) is put into the device. there is an amplifi­cation of about 12 db. The same holds for alllevels up to about 14 db (5 rnv input). bu t abovethis level the gain starts to decrease. For instancewith an input level of 28 db (25 mv) the amplifi ­cation has d ropped to 8 db. From this point onthe amplification decreascs- (finally becomingnegat ive if we carry the curve farther to theright). so that the output level ca n never exceedabou t 70 rn v, no matter how much is put intothe input. You can see that the objective of am­plifying low levels and ho lding down high leve lsmentioned earlier is achieved. \Ve don't get some­thi ng for nothing. however. Some distortion isintroduced in the process. For instance. a voicecomponent at 500 cycles. when clipped. producesharmonics at 1000 and 1500 cycles. which are stillwith in the passband. T his type of d istortion isheld to a minimum by the fi ltering in the output.When you're way down in the mud and trying toget a message across, the listener doesn 't mind thedistortion. and if at the other ex treme. you havea good signa l in his receiver, you don't need d ip­ping, so the device should be turned .off. Youcan't make a good circuit much belter, but whenthe going is rough. a little 3ud io shaping andthe use of a noise-cancell ing mike will make thedifference between a QSO and none at all. • -
