Vintage SSB station. CE20A, 813s, and Collins receiver
Thanks for checking out my stuff.
I have recently got this old Central Electronics 20A on air after a bit of repairs and aligments. Puts out about 10-12W, feeding an old (70's built) dual 813 linear.
Skip ahead to the tune up and the QSO´s if dont want to listen to me talking.
Thanks for watching

20m AM qsos using Collins ART-13

Don´t be limited to 80m AM with your older gear. There´s almost always someone on 14330 or thereabout. In this video I´m using my Collins ART-13 transmitter and Collins 75A-4 receiver on 20m. The transmitter puts out about 110W carrier, which does a great job getting into the UK from Sweden.

Elecraft KX2 hardcase

I found the perfect hardcase for my Elecraft KX2, which is roomy enough to let the KXPD2 paddle still be attached, yet small enough to slip into my backpack without taking up too much space. Case is a Seahorse SE56. Make sure to buy one without the rubber liner, or else the transceiver with attached paddle will be too large. The insert is 3d printed, available on my thingiverse page. www.thingi...

Hello, In this video I give you a brief overview of my antenna switching, rotator control and antenna tuning system, using one controller, which communicates with a slave located on the other side of my property.

    Передатчик очень похож на советский Р-807 с автонастройкой. Были такие в свое время на лампах в выходном каскаде ГК-71, в модуляторе две лампы Г-811, возбудитель СВ, удвоитель, утроитель,учетверитель частоты лампы Г-1625. Возбудитель КВ лампа Г-837.Лампа 6П6С предусилитель НЧ. Усилитель подслушивания 6П6С. Предусилитель НЧ лампа 12Ж8. Звуковой генератор лампа 6Н9С. Кварцевый генератор и смеситель лампа 6А7. Для питания анодных цепей умформер У-600.Для автонастройки электродвигатель постоянного тока ДУ-40. Этот передатчик работал совместно с приемником УС-8, УС-9, РПС.

      Now I understand!!! Makes total sense. Being this radio a Regen, made them easily detectable, as Regens produce a small amount of RF, even when receiving! That made them easy to locate for the sensitive Radio DIrection Finding equipment used by their enemy. Understood. Tks. 73 Rob, YS1RS

    What did you do with the crystal right before the QSO? I assume you matched your receive frequency with it, but I'm asking how exactly?

    • @SA2CLC
      @SA2CLC 5 місяців тому

      Correct. I have a single transistor oscillator built into the power supply used for "spotting" the transmitter in the receiver. Only thing is I'm not spotting the transmitter, but rather the crystal frequency.

You also brought up some things I had forgotten and that was about how they generated single-sideband back then, so now, instead of doing som boring things, i rather open some of my old books to read up on this.
