I recently acquired a Honeywell 6846 receiver, 30-300 MHZ and would like
find schematics for it. In many ways, it resembles The WJ 977 receiver I
have, except The Honeywell unit has no ident markings on any of its sub
units.
It has a rack mount chassis about the same size as the WJ 977. It has a
single tuning module, rather than separate 30-90 and 90-300 tuners found on
the 977. A knob switches the band. It has an inner and outer tuning knob
with a single shaft going to the tuner box.
Freq readout uses a horizontal wheel with a tape-like display.
There are five other aluminum box units, all plug in to vertical sockets,
not through the chassis. None are identified.. It is an AM/FM unit with 20
kHz, 200 kHz and 5 MHZ IF BW and a BFO knob. There are the usual RF, IF and
audio gain knobs. There is an IF OUT BNC on the front of the panel. The
antenna BNC is on the rear. There is a small speaker on the front panel and
there are screwdriver squelch controls and an indicator lamp. There is a
level meter, but not for on frequency tuning.
The radio works, but is wonky in IF response and demod. I just got it and
have not determined the IF output freq yet. The only info I have is that it
may have initially come from a Canadian auction. Any info on a source for
schematics would be appreciated.
