[R-390] R390A RF Deck slug indentification

[Brian Vietri]

Hello to all,

Does anyone know of a color code chart for locating slugs in their proper location in Slug Rack Rows? I noticed that at the top of the slugs there is a paint dot or dots, and there seems to be some kind of relation to colors in each slug rack row? (example the three slugs for the 8-16 Mhz row 1st slug has red/white dots, 2nd has red dot, 3rd has red/white dots) I realize this is probably related to permeability of the slugs. However I have not seen anything in black and white?

I also have one slug rack row with 2 straight slotted, and 1 bristol type slug? I have noticed the bristol type slug is almost bottomed to meet reception specs in all three locations in that row? I realize permeability is a huge factor, but again I find nothing in black and white?

 

Thanks in advance, Brian WB7QDR
