[ARC5] Bandwidth for IF Transformers

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Phillip,

The specs say the 85 kc cans are (depending on source) 2 kc, 1.5 kc or 1 
kc. I saw where somebody reported less than 1 kc. The 2 kc I found in 
one of the "official' manuals and 1.8 kc in yet another "official" 
manual. I suspect some of those are for a single can, a single can with 
a sweep tuneup, an entire I.F. strip peaked by ear, and an entire I.F. 
strip tuned up with a sweeper (aka wobbulator). I use them with the rods 
all the way up and peaked by ear. It was tough enough to get an 85 kc 
signal source and never mind a sweeper. I have no use for an I.F. strip 
that is opened up but they are supposed to pass AM phone with the rods 
down and aligned.

I have no 239 kc cans nor any radios that use them and so I have no 
recall of specs.

I hope this helps. I am sure others have data to add to this - for the 
239 kc cans especially. 85 kc wobbulator is on the to-do list. so some 
day...

73,
