[ARC5] Fall Project: Navy ATD Transmittter

[WF2U]

The ATD puts out 40 -50 watts  both on AM and CW. I use the Navy RS-38 type carbon mike with it and I got good audio reports. By the way I run both the ATD and the ARB from 28 VDC as both have the original dynamotors, which are surprisingly quiet.
The ARB is indeed a bit broad in sekectivity. Since I mostly work CW, I added an external dual active audio filter that plugs in the audio output of the receiver  and  the earphones are fed from the filter. It works wonders when the band is crowded.
I also run an LM-13 via the power output connector on the ARB front panel. It is a great aid to put the setup on frequency for nets and I also use it for sidetone on CW.

How many watts is the ATD? The ARB receiver has a 914 Khz IF, so that's another broad one... Interesting looking , though.

Keep'em coming! I'm always intetested to hear from people using ATD's and ARB's! 

I have an operational ATD/ARB combo I use once in a while. Time to start thinking about an antenna for 630 m. I hope I'll receive no letter from UTC the next couple of weeks...

The ATD is on the air on 40, 75, 160 and 630 Mtrs.
Still work to do plus integrating it into a
station.

Before I go to the work to write it all up,
it would be good to know more than one or two
are interested.
Finally got a place for that spare ARB.
