[Milsurplus] [RCA] SRR-13 Article

[Hubert Miller]

This is not just my idiosyncratic use of words; the same terminology applies to the world of antiques. 

Uncommon is at a hamfest, an MAB or DAV walkie-talkie.

Rare is a Bendix 8D-3 walkie talkie.

Uncommon is a BC-224-C.

Rare is a BC-224-A.

Not  to pick a fight but I feel that you are splitting hairs, care to parse the difference between uncommon and rare?

I think the word is “uncommon”, not “rare”.  The R-808 has only LC selectivity at IF. I think the narrowest is 3 kHz at -6db, something like that. 

On CW narrow there’s also an audio filter, like with the SRR. I consider this receiver as 2nd place to the SRR because of 1- the 16-32 single swath

high band, and 2- the IF alignment requiring removal of the IF section. I wonder if people who bought this receiver, knew that when they bought

it.

I haven't seen a response to your query.  Perhaps both are rare enough that no one has the operating experience to compare them?

 

To start the ball rolling specification wise, the R-808 is single conversion below 8 mc, has a 2nd crystal controlled above 8 mc.  Second IF is 455 kc, not sure if there are selectable IF bandpass filters, will have to check the manual to be sure.

 

SRR-13 is double conversion on all bands with three L/C pass band filters at the beginning of the 200 kc second IF.  First IF is 1600 kc.  The SRR-13A has the two narrow 200 kc filters replaced by RCA designed mechanical filters but the broad filter remains L/C.  Filter bandwidths are approximately, 1, 3 and 8 kc centered on 200 kc.  There is also an audio filter that has a pass band of 825 to 1175 cycles which is switched in for the A1 sharp passband position.
