[ARC5] LM series

[jcoward5452 at aol.com]

You can use the LM and BC-221 as an external BFO.Just lightly couple 
the LM to the antenna terminal of the TCS or BC-348 and  tune in a SSB 
signal as you normally would with the internal BFO on.Zero beat to that 
with the LM and then turn off the internal BFO.Adjust the output of the 
LM so as not to overload the rx.This is far more stable for ssb 
listening.You only have to adjust for drift once in a while,not evry 
couple of minutes.

  ps a Navy guy once told me that he and his buddies in school would set 
up a short range net with LM's by keying the antenna wire.
  You can hook up your long wire to the antenna terminal and listen to 
all sorts of stuff too.

I have an LM-13 that has a small hatch in the carrying case looking like
the operator could use either battery or external source when the
batteries conked out without removing it from the case:

open hatch with fat screwdriver/dime,

pull internal battery plug,

insert external battery plug.



When casually cruising the AM bands with my TCS, I zero-beat the
frequency I'm interested in, then zero beat the TX, tune it up, and I'm
ready to roll. I read the frequency out of the cal book for use in the
QSL card later.
