TRC-1 etc used three-element Yagi.
Not a corner reflector. (TRC-8 which
ran on 400MHz used a corner reflector.)
The driven element had marks on it
for adjusting the length to match
the frequency. There ws no balun
on the antenna, so the major lobes
skewed a little. (Trivia).
To clarify the "MUX", they were WECo
CF-1's, and they were 4-chan SSB. The
freq allocations were like this. Chan 1
was voice band. Chan 2 was 4 to 8 KHz.
Chan 3 was 8 to 12 KHz, and Chan 4 was
12 to 16 KHz. The channel oscillators
at the transmit end had to be set with
a 211 freq meter, but the channel
oscillators at the receive end was set
by zero beating tones. (Trivia ?)
Ken's list tells it all.
73 Clete - 30 -
