If your problem is measuring pY,p,A and milliohmsin transistorizedand integrated

circuits . . .

Solve it withTriplett's 801

Model 801

1210

It offers 73 measurement ranges

including 8 low -power resis-tance ranges that apply only 35

mV to the device under test ...does not activate or damagesolid-state components. With

full-scale readings as low as 50

mV DC and 5 mV AC, 5 PA DC

and 100 Ohms (1 Ohm center -

scale) - plus a 10 megohm in-

put impedance on the AC scales

and 11 megohm input resistance

1. Lower power ohms - 8 -anges with 35 mV power source and 1 ohm centerscale.

2. High sensitivity -5 mV AC full scale at 10 megohm input impedance, 50 mVDC at 11 megohm input resistance.

3. Simplified scale - 8" meter with only 4 arcs for all 73 ranges.

V -O -M is ideally suited toin -circuit testing. When you add

2% DC and 3% AC accuracy

on the voltage ranges (cu -rent:

3% DC and 4°/a AO and a 25

PA suspension -type meter with

a nearly 71/3" scale length,there's no doubt that the Model

801 has no equal among ana-

log V -0 -M's in terms of sensitiv-

ity and versatility. And there's an

optional Leakage Adapter ($30)

that measures leakage currents

as low as 1 A.

See the remarkable Model 801

demonstration-call him or your

STOP THE CLOCK!

Some of our readers haveaccused us of being somehowpartly responsible for ourgalloping technology. They feelthat on a few occasions thiseditorial column has actuallyhelped encourage manufactur-ers to rush out wild newcircuitry for consumer elec-tronic products-circuitry whichshould actually be set bakingfor the next 10 years in afactory storeroom until all the

"bugs" are exterminated. These electronic technicians wouldthen have ample time to catch up with the technology andall servicing jobs would be "quick and simple."

Although we do admit that manufacturers do read this column,as evidenced by the giant reprinting job that Motorolarecently did of the January editorial (note this month'seditorial photo), we must realize that it is not technicalpublications such as ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN/DEALER but

rather competitive forces that are causing manufacturers torush to the market with their latest developments in electroniccircuitry. Some of these developments represent tremendous

improvement. And if one manufacturer waits toolong to perfect a new circuit, then the potential customersturn to another manufacturer that has a more advancedproduct on the market.

These manufacturers serve a very fickle public that demandsthe most impressive products immediately without regardto future servicing. This becomes quite obvious when customerscome into the shop with a relatively new piece of "junk" ofunknown origin-either an imported or domestic product-and become indignant when they discover that you are unableto stretch between layers of components far enough to evenreach the suspected defective component, let alone identifyit for replacement or check it against a schematic. Thereis only one appropriate place for such garbage-it should bestripped off the shelves of the discount houses and otherretailers and deposited where it belongs-in the trashcans out back!

But reputable manufacturers are concerned with serviceability.That is why you see modular circuitry being used to makesolid-state servicing easier. That is why manufacturers arebeginning to call upon the professional electronic serviceassociations for suggested product changes that will offereven greater future serviceability.

As much as we might like to stop the clock and catch ourbreath, we find that we can't. Since dragging our feet won'thelp, and since our readers can always find service tips onthe maintenance of old circuitry in back issues, current issuesof ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN/DEALER must be concernedwith the task of preparing ourselves for tomorrow's rat race.

EDITORIAL

At the recent IEEE Show in New York City, I was able toobserve and operate some products that represent what we willbe encountering. Hewlett Packard exhibited for our use theirnew hand-held electronic calculator, the H -P 35, that usesbut five IC's-three of which generate (rather than remember)to 10 significant figures the value of logarithms,trigonometric functions, plus other functions, for instantaneouscalculations. All of these features, yet it sells for only $395.

By pressing a sequence of digits, I was able to digitally tuneHeath's new AJ-1510 FM Stereo Tuner, a "computer tuner" nowon the market that contains 55 IC's, 50 discrete transistors,50 signal diodes and sells for $539.95 in kit form. (TheJuly audio report is concerned with Magnavox's newAM/FM receiver which digitally displays the frequency towhich it is tuned on either band. We have found this far moreconvenient and reliable than the conventional tuning dial.)

If our technology continues its present course, and if the FCCand various pressure groups permit, then I predict thatthe following technological advances will have occurred withinthe next 10 to 15 years:

All dynamic components in consumer and commercialelectronic circuitry, except for high -power applications, will becontained in some form of integrated circuitry. The useof scopes and multimeters will generally be restricted totesting "older" consumer electronic products, since all newtesting will be done with clips attached to a hand-heldcalculator. It will compare voltages and signal conditionswith what is considered proper by an internal memory bank,the appropriate memory circuits being selected by themodule under test, and the instrument indicating the conditionof that module-specifying any defects present. IFcircuits will be self-adjusting for best alignment. Three-dimensional color -TV hologram pictures will be the rage-thepictures resulting from interference patterns that form aslaser light reflected off a liquid crystal display is combined withthe light emitted directly from the laser. Solid-state memorycircuitry will assist in permitting the formation of far densercolor -TV pictures that seem as sharp as photographs. Although virtually all homes and apartments will contain MATVsystems, which will permit the use of CCTV, the economicaldirect reception of satellite TV transmissions will resultin the decline of CATV systems-two-way video communicationsbeing handled by the local telephone company.

There was a lot to learn as we switched from tube to transistorcircuitry, but with the rapid development of economical,extremely sophisticated IC's, the hands of that clock havebegun turning even faster. Although ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN/DEALER will continue its efforts in remaining current withthese transitions, only those open to strong technicalpublication support, manufacturer support and professionalassociation support can ever hope to survive.

March Issue Pleasant SurpriseWhat a pleasant, unexpected sur-

prise to receive my March issue ofET/ D and see, right on the front cov-er in living color, "M.L." and "Babe"Finneburgh. We consider Mr. andMrs. Finneburgh, Sr., to be "personalfriends" of ours; but we are aware thatthere are literally thousands of otherfortunate persons who also considerthemselves as "personal friends" ofthese wonderful people. It is part ofthe magic surrounding "Babe" and"M.L." that they are indeed personalfriends to countless numbers of peo-ple. They befriend-by way of theirfaith and praise and uncompromisingloyalty-executives of the largest cor-porations as well as "little people" likeus who have been privileged to ob-serve the two of them displaying theirown specialized, inspirational talent.

The two pages within that issue(pages 46 and 47), which you devoteto capsulizing the highlights of someof M.L.'s achievements is accuratelyand tastefully done, but I would liketo point out a couple of other signifi-cant contributions that he has made tohelp those engaged in the business ofproviding "independent" service.

Mr. M. L. Finneburgh, Sr., not onlyprovided the spark for the creation ofthe "Superior Independent Service"(S.1.S.) campaigns at the NEA na-tional convention in St. Louis (July1970), he also contributed the bulk ofthe beginning funds, served as fundtrustee and advertising manager, anddonated the Finney Company to pro-vide promotional materials for themost massive collective advertisingcampaign that Independent Servicecould muster. While doing this, heclimbed out on the proverbial limb topersonally call to task those giantmanufacturing corporations that hadelected to invade the field of all -brandselectronic service. There are many ofLs who believe that without the unityof purpose created within the indepen-dent service industry by the magnifi-cent efforts of M. L. Finneburgh, Sr.,ServiceAmerica would not yet havemade the decision to "close up shop"-and that the field of all -brands ser-vice would now or very soon be in-vaded by every major manufacturer inthe country.

To the other activities you have no-ted, it should be added that M.L. wasone of the few persons to actually par-

ticipate in the very first formative ses-sion of the Electronics Industry Coun-cil (also in St. Louis in July 1970)

and is a most active participant in theNational Electronics Service Confer-ences.

He dynamically champions not onlythe cause of independent service andtheir once fractional and duplicativetrade associations, but has also beenan effective catalyst for increased co-operation and unity between thesenewly respected representatives of themore actively concerned members ofthe trade.

Anyone connected with the highestprinciples of "independent" (or inter-dependent) service can truthfullyclaim that M.L. is their personalfriend. No better display of reciprocalfriendship could be made by a servicedealer than to join M.L. in becominga member of either NATESA or NEA(or both) and by promoting increasedunity and more effective representationof the industry. by these national "self-service" associations.

Mr. Dahlen, your March issue ofET/ D has paid a well -deserved tributeto two truly great and gracious"Friends of Service" and has againdisplayed to us that you and your"new" magazine are also deserving ofrecognition as a "Friend of Service."Thank you.

Congratulations onFinneburgh Coverage

Congratulations on your wonderfuleditorial of Morris L. Finneburgh, Sr.,and his lovely wife Frieda, in theMarch 1972 issue. To do justice tothis wonderful couple would no doubttake up every page of one of yourmagazines. It is too bad that so manyget your magazine and yet so few ac-tually read it. This is one of thoseproblems that we have no control over.We cannot force people to read.

I am not referring to just your pub-lication, this is true with all publica-tions. Electronic technicians are toobusy trying to repair a challengingtough dog without proper compensa-tion, thus they have no time to readarticles that no doubt would help thetough dogs become just another rou-tine repair job.

During the past two years, I havevisited over a thousand shops up anddown the east coast and have foundthat your last three paragraphs [in theMarch article] hits the nail on thehead.

Meeting X -Ray Hazard

Regarding the attached clipping onx-ray radiation, what do you recom-mend as a useful go/no-go instrumentfor telling our TV viewers that thehazard is at a minimum?

I think all your readers would alsolike to know.

A. I. MALTBYIn the newspaper clipping attached

to the letter, it reported a Departmentof Health, Education and Welfare(HEW) announcement that customersneed not worry about radiation emis-sion from new TV sets. It quoted theHEW as saying that viewers of olderTV sets, concerned about x-ray leak-age, may call trained servicemen.

Upon receipt of this letter, wewrote the HEW and asked them whatour readers might do in checking forthis radiation. Their letter is as fol-lows:

In response to your letter of Octo-ber 8, 1971, to Mr. John Villforth,Director, Bureau of RadiologicalHealth, I am pleased to provide thefollowing information on actions thatelectronic technicians may take to as-sure that older TV receivers are notemitting excessive x radiation.

To detect radiation from a receiver,the technician may wish to purchase amulti -tube gm instrument such asthose manufactured by Victoreen In-strument Co., Cleveland, Ohio, or byWm. B. Johnson Associates, Mont-rose, N.J. These instruments sell forin excess of $500.00. The technicianmay wish instead to construct a single -tube instrument according to the en-closed Division of Electronic Productreport. This should cost around$50.00 for parts.

Another most important instrumentfor technicians is a high -voltage probe,which can be used to measure CRTsecond -anode voltage. The high volt-age of the receiver should be set nohigher than that recommended by theTV -set manufacturer.

When rectifiers and shunt regulatortubes require replacement, they shouldbe replaced with tubes which haveradiation ratings. Examples of this aresubstituting 3A3C for 3A3, 1X2C for

NEWS OF THE INDUSTRY

Second T DayScheduled for June 15th

Approximately 850 technicians took the National Elec-tronic Associations' certification test on March 15, 1972.Each commercial trade publication held a T -Day sessionand their help was appreciated by the entire industry. Moststate and local trade associations also held T -Day sessionswith many schools and universities cooperating.

Because of the many inquiries in response to recentpublicity of the CET program, another test day, T -DayNo. 2, has been designated for June 15th. To find outwhere you might take the test in your area, write to ISCET,1309 W. Market St., Indianapolis, Ind. 46222, or phone317-632-2469 for information.

This month we are providing the third in a series ofquestions-these representing the types of questions in-cluded in Part III of the CET examinations.

Section IIIAC Circuits

I. At resonance, the impedance of a parallel -tuned tankcircuit is very low. True/False

2. A series -resonant circuit can be used as a trap. True/False

3. Inductors have a self -resonant frequency lower thanwhen normally used in circuit. True/False

4. An emitter bypass capacitor increases the low -frequen-cy gain of an amplifier. True/False

5. A phase -shift network can be made from capacitors andresistors. True/ False

Explanations1. False The impedance at resonance is very high in a

parallel -tuned tank circuit.2. True Quite frequently a series -resonant circuit is used

as a trap since the impedance is very low at resonance.3. False Self -resonance with the distributed inductor

capacitance would be higher. Any circuit capacitancewould add to the distributed capacitance, and since f

1

V LC-=-_-_-,

when the capacitance (C) goes up, the resonant

frequency (f) goes down.4. You could argue for true or false on this one depending

on how you define low frequency. It is true if the lowfrequency that you are thinking of makes the reactanceof the capacitor (V) low; while if the low frequencythat you are thinking of is actually higher, the resultingreactance of the capacitor (Xe) may be rather high.(This bad question was left in to generate thought anddiscussion. We always strive to eliminate ambiguousquestions in the CET examination.)

5. True Since current and voltage are 90° out of phasein an RC circuit, several sections can be built for a par-ticular desired phase shift.

The NATESA Executive Council activated plans for anew NATESA award to be called, "The CooperatorAward." Its purpose is to recognize those companies thathave been especially cooperative. There have been 13 com-panies nominated, subject to delegate approval. Many pre-vious F.O.S. winners, as well as several new companies,have already been nominated. This plaque is not to be con-fused with the NATESA "Friends of Service ManagementAward," which has been held in abeyance the past twoyears because it began to lose value due to proliferation.

An F.O.S. Committee, with George Weiss, ChicagoPresident, as chairman, was directed to study F.O.S. rulesso that the F.O.S. can be reactivated, but with only a singlewinner possible each year. This will be a super award. Win-ners of Cooperator Awards will automatically be con-sidered for the F.O.S. AWARD.

NATESA will host the next National Service Conferenceand Electronic Industry Council session in conjunctionwith its New Orleans Convention, upon approval of itsHouse of Delegates.

TESA of ArkansasHolds 9th Convention

The Ninth Annual Convention of TESA of Arkansas washeld on Sunday, March 26, 1972, at Paul's LamplighterRestaurant in Little Rock, about 80 attending.

During the meeting 1972-73 officers were elected. Theseincluded: Lawrence Barger, president; Joe Hall, executivevice-president; Noah Gabbard, area vice-president; WalterLong, area vice-president; Bill Childs, area vice-president;Mary Kelly, secretary; Jolly Wilson, treasurer; LowellJones, sergeant of arms; Harold Pruett, Roger Penny, DougRaley, Paul Boeckman, Maudie Burnett, directors; and Le-Roy Ragsdale, NATESA delegate.

An Outstanding Award was presented to Mrs. Jolly Wil-son by 1971 Convention Chairman Nolan Boone for herwork on the 1971 NATESA Convention.

Licensing Bills Considered inNew Jersey and Pennsylvania

We have learned from TSA News of Delaware Valleythat the Consumers Protection Bureau in Harrisburg willtry to force upon radio and TV servicing dealers in Penn-sylvania a licensing bill that is detrimental to the interestof our industry with no consideration for the many servic-ing problems confronted by the servicing dealer in hisdaily work. The publication indicates that this bill willonly force the service dealer to increase his charges to theconsuming public without any guarantees that the con-sumer will receive quality service by competent technicians.

In the same issue it was indicated that on January 25,1972 representatives of TSA met with New Jersey state offi-cials in Newark to discuss their proposed licensing bill.TSA's interest in this matter is to protect the interest of theTV servicing dealers. The state officials agreed that manyof the suggestions made to them by TSA representativesshould be incorporated into the licensing bill, and addition-al meetings will be held before completion of the bill.

RAYTHEON

1971

Another vintage yearfor the both of us.

1971 was a very good year. And 1972 already tastes evenbetter. The truth is every year's a vintage year for you,the independent serviceman, and Raytheon, the largest

independent tube supplier in the business. Last year,while a lot of other suppliers were running behind,

even dropping out of the race, the two of us had anothergreat year. We've come a long way together.

And like a good wine, we keep getting better.That's because Raytheon works so well with you.

And never works without you. That's the kind of thingthat makes for a very good year for both of us. Year after year.

TEKLAB REPORT

Channel Master'sModel 6124A ModularColor -TV Setby Joseph Zauhar

The modular design of this TV chassis can take

the chore out of servicing and in most cases

eliminate pulling the chassis for the shop

It is generally agreed that withinthe next few years most TV sets willbe of modular design, and the color -TV set we are describing in this re-port is Channel Master's first modu-lar chassis aimed to speed and sim-plify servicing of color -TV sets-inmany cases eliminating the need forshop repair. This is the model 6124Acolor -TV set employing the hybridT5001 series chassis.

Channel Master's Model 6124A color -TV set employing the hybrid T5001 series chassis.

After unpacking the set, we werequite impressed with the cabinet de-sign, most of the customer controlsbeing hidden behind a panel doorwhich blends in with the Mediter-ranean cabinet; and when opened,the CHANNEL SELECTOR knobs, ON/OFF switch, VOLUME, AFT andAUTOMATIC TINT controls are withineasy reach. The slide throttle typeCOLOR and TINT controls are ex-posed on the front panel along theright side of the picture tube mask.The BRIGHTNESS, VERTICAL HOLDand CONTRAST controls are partiallyhidden and located on the lowerright of the picture tube mask. An-other important feature for the ser-vice technician are the concealedcasters, which simplify moving ofthe heavy console.

This newly designed "Integrid"chassis employs six plug-in mod-ules, each with its own function; andthe chassis is mounted on slidingrails for even easier access to thefew components beneath. If it be-comes necessary to remove the com-plete main chassis, this task is sim-plified by the employment of plug-inconnectors to the tuners, controlsand deflection yoke. These connec-tors cannot be interchanged becauseof the different socket shapes used.

The individual modules arc easy

to pull or replace and are wellsecured. Guide pins, which are alsoground points for the circuit board,are located on the main chassis.They guide the contact pins into themodule contacts. The modules aresecured with two spring locks oneach end of the module and twowing type fasteners in the center ofthe board.

There are 19tubes, plus the picture tube, 6 tran-sistors, 9 silicon diodes, 12 seleniumdiodes and 2 crystal diodes em-ployed in this color -TV chassis. The25 -in. (diagonally measured) screenof the black matrix picture tube issaid to have a shadow mask con-

structed from die cast metal.Most of the circuits employed in

this chassis are already quite fa-miliar to most service technicians.However, during our review some ofthe features and circuits may be fol-lowed in this month's TekfaxSchematic No. 1416.

Power SupplyThe power supply includes a

heavy power transformer which isbolted to the main chassis frame.The snap -in power supply module,PW1100, contains the bridge -typerectifier circuit, plus the thermistorand varistor for the automatic de-gaussing circuit. The two filamentfuse wires are located across the ter-minals on top of the main chassis,eliminating the need to remove thechassis to replace the fusible wire.

Board PW300 contains the picture (or video)IF and sound circuits.

Board PW700 contains the chroma circuitry.which employs three transistors and five66H8 tubes.

The PW500 board contains the deflectioncircuits.

This chassis is also protected by adual purpose reset -type circuitbreaker which is incorporated in thelow -voltage power supply, half ofthe breaker being connected inseries with the cathode circuit of thehorizontal output tube to protect thehorizontal output circuitry.

Professional AntennaInstallation Methods

by Bert Wolf

Despite the recent spate of electronic antennas,

miniature antennas and unusual designs, there is

really nothing radically new in the field of TV

antennas. Log-periodics, Yagis and variations of

these two basic designs still provide the

most efficient, effective TV and FM reception.

The current upsurge in color -TVsetsales has resulted in a correspond-ing increase in antenna sales. Sinceantenna business, properly handled,is exceptionally profitable, dealerswho don't emphasize this aspect oftheir business are neglecting a veryimportant revenue source.

There are two important aspectsof installing TV antennas: qualityand time. To be successful in theantenna business, your installationsmust be first class. They must bringin all channels sharp and clear. Theymust eliminate ghosts, snow, colorproblems and interference. Theymust be secure enough to providemany years of service. They must beneat and attractive.

Make antenna installations thatmeet these criteria and you'll en-hance your reputation for quality.But you still may not do very well interms of profit unless you can alsodo the job rapidly. Labor is a verybig factor in an antenna installation.You should always sell up to thefinest of materials, but labor is stilla large proportion of the cost. Sometwo -man crews can manage onlythree or four installations a day.Others manage 10 or more.

Of course, installation time variesby area and conditions. If you haveto spend a lot of time traveling,erect large towers, overcome diffi-cult reception problems or snakelead-in through walls, you won't beable to handle too many jobs in aday. But under normal circum-stances, a hard-working, efficienttwo -man crew should be able tohandle an average of seven or eightinstallations a day.

This article is aimed at helpingyou to increase speed while main-taining quality.

Choosing the AntennaYour customer generally depends

upon you to recommend the rightantenna to suit his needs. In a rela-tively short time, you should knowthe best types of antennas for mostreception conditions in your sellingarea.

However, it is always a good idea

to sell up. If there are UHF channelsin the area, be sure to sell an 82channel antenna even if the custom-er says he never watches UHF. Hecan never tell when they will telecasta local sports event that he is veryeager to see. And an all -channelantenna is not much more expensivethan a VHF -only antenna.

If there is a choice, try to sell upthe most expensive antenna, ratherthan the cheapest the customer canget by with. Over the years of ser-vice, the difference in price is neg-ligible.

If there is a distant channel withgood programming, suggest a sys-tem that will bring it in. People areoften willing to spend a lot of moneyto get blacked -out sporting events.

Tools Needed forInstalling Antennas

Don't skimp on tools. A good as-sortment of quality tools more thanpay for themselves in the time theysave. Here's what you will need: A good field strength meter (seeFig. 1). Some antenna installers tryto get away without such a meter,but this is false economy. If youknow the area well, you won't needa meter for antenna selection. How-ever, a field strength meter is a must

for solving the reception problemsyou frequently encounter. It is a loteasier to eliminate interference ifyou know what frequency it is onand where it is coming from. Ameter can also tell you if the prob-lem is the antenna or the TV set, as

well as pinpointing the need for apreamplifier. Normal hand tools such as screw-drivers, diagonal cutters and pliers. A 1/4 -in. and a N -in. nut driver.These sizes fit almost all the nutsyou will encounter on U -bolts,mounts and rotators. A good set of ratchet wrenches.Ratchet wrenches are considerablyfaster than open-end wrenches. A leather tool belt. A heavy hammer (to driveground rods). A crimping tool (for coax con-nectors). A good compass and an air mapof the area. These tools will insureprecise antenna orientation. A level to make sure that themast is straight. A staple gun for running trans-mission line.

You will also need the followingitems: Silicon grease for waterproofingcoax connectors. Clear acrylic spray for protectingtwin -lead connections. Roofing tar for sealing up holesaround bolts, screws and standoffs. Caulking compound to usearound coaxial cable where it entersthe house. (You cannot use caulk-ing compound around twin -lead, sobe careful to drill entry holes up-ward and make sure they are underan overhang or a window sill.)

Locating the AntennaSome antenna articles advocate

"Walking the Roof" with a standarddipole attached to a field strengthmeter to find the right antenna loca-tion. This is not only dangerous, itis a waste of valuable time. Exceptfor the rare circumstances where youare fighting for every microvolt ofsignal, your antenna location shouldbe chosen with only one thought inmind: "Where can I make the fast-est, most secure installation?" Sig-nal considerations are secondary be-cause you can almost always getenough signal anywhere on the roof.

Antenna height is another matter.If signals are weak or blocked bytall trees, hills or buildings, a littleextra height can make a big differ-ence.

In a good signal area, use a 5 -ft.mast and don't worry about getting

the very strongest signals you can.In a fringe area, however, you willprobably have to go up 10 or 20ft. Since this makes for a difficultinstallation, don't make this choicelightly.

Connect your field strength meterto a small antenna and probe vari-ous heights for signal strengths. Ifthe difference between 10 ft. and 20ft. is only a few decibels, you aremuch better off to use a larger an-tenna or stacked antennas instead ofgoing up high. Whenever possible,try to keep your mast at 10 ft. orless.

If you are using separate UHFand VHF antennas, you have achoice of which to put on top.Generally speaking, you should putthe antenna that has to pull in theweakest signals on top. If UHFsignals arc weak, and you are usinga tall mast, it will probably pay youto probe various heights, since UHFsignals are not always strongest atthe greatest height.

Aiming the AntennaMany, perhaps most, antenna in-

stallers take antenna orientation toolightly. It is a very important aspectof the installation-especially if youare using high -gain, highly direc-tional antennas. An antenna posi-tioned just a few degrees off cancause poor color or color fadingfrom time to time.

Some installers just take a guessat the direction of the transmittingtower. They figure that they knowthe town pretty well, so they aim ata familiar landmark or by "feel."Needless to say, they often miss themark. Others use walkie talkies-one on the roof and one at the TVset. This procedure is both inexactand time consuming.

The best way to aim an antennais with a compass and an air map.You can buy air maps for under$1.00 at most local airports. Theyshow the locations of the TVtowers, plus all other tall structures,ridges and hills. The compass andair maps tell you precisely how toorientate the antenna.

If it is a rotor installation, thecompass enables you to line the an-tenna up to point north. Aside fromaccuracy, this method also has theadvantage of saving time. You aim

the antenna only once and thentighten it in place.

Mounting TechniquesOnce you have chosen the an-

tenna and determined the optimumheight for it, your next problem isto decide what type of mount to use.Aside from towers (which we won'tcover in this article), there are threebasic types of mounts: Chimney mounts. Base and tripod mounts. Wall mounts.

Generally speaking, chimneymounts are the fastest and easiestto use (Fig. 2 shows a typical chim-ney -mount installation).

Here are a few tips on chimneymounts: Before you decide on a chimneymount, make sure the chimney isstrong and in good shape. Manymodern chimneys are false-notreally made of brick. Attach an an-tenna to one of these and the chim-ney is liable to blow down with theantenna. And, of course, you maybe liable for the damage. Even witha brick chimney you have to becareful. If it looks shaky or thereare bricks missing, stay away fromit. Customers are prone to blameyou for the damage whether youcaused it or not. Don't mount the straps too closetogether. For masts 10 ft or higher,you should leave at least 21/2 ft be-tween the top and bottom straps.For 5 ft masts, at least 2 ft of sepa-ration is required. If you can't sepa-rate the top and bottom straps by atleast 2 ft, the chimney is too shortto use. If you go to 10 ft or more abovethe top of the chimney, use a guyring and guy wires, as shown in Fig.3. Even with guy wires, don't tryto go more than 19 ft above thechimney top, unless the antennais unusually small, ice loading is noproblem and high winds are veryrare. Make sure the straps are abso-lutely straight, with no kinks. Youcan do this easily by lining eachstrap up with a row of bricks. If thestrap is not straight, it will probablymove under stress. Pull each strap tight, then line itup straight, pull it tight again andclamp it loosely in place. Then, be-

fore the straps are completelytightened, fasten the mast (with theantenna) in place.

Now comes an important stepthat many installers ignore. Useyour level to be sure the mast isvertical. You can't really do a goodjob by eye, especially on a slantroof. Even a small deviation fromvertical causes the weight of the an-tenna to apply torque to the mount.Besides, it looks unprofessional. Use the compass and air map toaim the antenna in the right direc-tion and then tighten everything inplace. Secure all bolts with yourratchet wrenches, making certainthat everything is very solid. Youshould not be able to turn the an-tenna on the mast or the mast on thechimney mount.

Base and Tripod MountsFig. 3 shows a typical base mount

installation. A base mount has onlyone job-to hold the mast firmly atthe bottom. Because base mountshold masts only at one point, how -

ever, guy wires are a must. The ruleis, use a set of guy wires for every10 ft of mast.

A base mount can be used any-where on the roof, but you shouldtry to position it so that all of themounting screws bite into solidwood. You can usually find solidwood *near the peak of the roof,which is an ideal spot for a basemount.

If you can't hit solid wood in a

convenient mounting place, youhave two alternatives: Fasten the base mount to a two-by-four long enough to pass overtwo rafters. Then, bolt the two-by-four to the rafters. You can locatethe rafters easily by tapping andlistening for a dull sound. If indoubt, drive a small test nail. Besure to seal any holes made by testnails with roof tar. Use a 5 -in, or 6 -in. square of 1 -in. or 3/4 -in. plywood inside theattic. This is a two -man job. The in-staller drives lag bolts through themount and the roof; and the lagbolts pull the wood square up tightagainst the inside of the roof, mak-ing a very solid installation.

The first method is generallyeasier and faster, but you may haveto use the second method for someinstallations. Many experienced in-stallers carry precut lengths of two-by-four and squares of plywood intheir trucks to save time on the job.

When you have got the basemount firmly anchored, put the an-tenna and mount in place. It is mostefficient to preassemble the antenna,the mast, the guy ring and the guywires on the ground. By the timeyou put the mast into the mount,everything should be ready to go.

Here is an important point: Donot insert the mast so deeply into themount that it will make contact withthe roof. Make sure that all of theweight of the assembly is carried bythe base mount. Otherwise, the mastcan easily damage the roof.

With the antenna/mast assemblyattached to the base mount, yournext step is to move the mast to anupright position. If it is a short mast,you can simply pick up the antenna.Then, while one man holds it inplace, the other man can fasten theeye bolts and pull the guy wirestaut.

If it is a tall mast, you will haveto "walk" it up. First, install an eyebolt directly across from the an-tenna, as far away from it as youcan go and still hit solid wood. Pullone guy wire through this eye bolt.Then, while one man pushes themast up, the other takes up slackand helps by pulling on the guywire. Once the mast is approximate-ly vertical, pull the guy wire fairlytaut and secure it in place.

Use turnbuckles on the remainingtwo guy wires. (Some installers usefour guy wires, but three do the jobjust as well) Get the antenna as up-right as possible with the remainingtwo guy wires, and clamp them inplace. Then, use your level to checkon how vertical the mast is. Take upslack with the turnbuckles.

When you finish, the antennashould be pointing in the right di-rection, the mast should be verticalwith no bows, everything should besecure, and the guy wires should bestraight. Do not make the guy wirestight as a bowstring. A little slackwill permit the mast to sway a littlein the wind. Remember, mightyoaks are sometimes felled by highwinds, but saplings generally justbend and snap back.

Tripod mounts are especiallyhandy for short masts on roofswhere you can't use a chimneymount. If the mast is only 5 -ft high,you can use a tripod mount withoutguy wires. In fact, if the antenna issmall and the tripod is big, you canuse a tripod mount with a 19 -ft mastwithout guy wires. For taller masts,tripod mounts are not too practical.If you are going to use guy wiresanyhow, base mounts are less ex-pensive, much easier to install andjust as good as tripods.

Wall MountsFig. 4 shows a typical wall mount.

Wall mounts are very easy to use.You simply anchor them to the walland fasten the mast in place. Of

course, you must be certain that allmounting bolts bite into solid wood.If you can't hit wood, fasten eachwall mount to a piece of wood (atwo-by-four or 3/4 -in. plywood).Then fasten the wood to a stud orbeam. Or, use a piece of plywoodinside the attic, as described for basemounts.

Here are a few tips on using wallmounts: Make sure the wall mount brack-et holds the mast far enough awayfrom the wall to clear any overhang. Separate the wall mounts by atleast 2 ft. The taller the mast, themore separation you should have. There is no practical way to useguy wires with a wall mount. There-fore you should restrict the mastheight to 10 ft, if at all possible. Ifyou have to go up as high as 15 ft,use a 20 -ft mast with three wallbrackets spaced 2 ft apart. In an in-

stallation such as this, there is a tre-mendous amount of torque on thewall brackets. If you don't hit beamswith all of your mounting bolts, thistorque may eventually split thefaceplate of the house.

Guy Wires

There are three important as-pects of installing guy wires. First,plan ahead. Do as much preassem-bly work on the ground as possible.

Second, use good quality guywires. Vinyl -covered, aluminum -strand guy wire is light, strong andexceptionally easy to handle. Becareful not to allow kinks to develop.

Third, anchor the guy wires se-curely, using eye bolts or guy hooks.Make sure the eye bolts bite deeplyinto solid wood. Otherwise, theeye bok will eventually pull away.Not only will the antenna fall, roofdamage will result.

If it is a multiple guy -wire instal-lation (that is, one set of guy wiresat 10 ft and another set at 20 ft),you can use one eye bolt for two guywires. However, if you can, you arebetter off to use a separate bolt foreach guy wire.

Once the antenna and mast arefirmly in place, use your roof tarliberally. Fill any test holes, and ap-ply the tar around all bolts andscrews that penetrate the roof.

Lead -In Wires

Transmission line is a very im-portant part of any antenna installa-tion. It is the transmission line thatactually delivers signals to the TVset. And many reception problemsare caused by poor quality transmis-sion line or badly installed transmis-sion line.

In selecting transmission line, youhave to choose between coax andtwinlead. Many top installers favorcoaxial cable because it is shieldedagainst interference pick-up and it isconsiderably easier to run. Twinlead,however, is often preferred in weakUHF signal areas, because goodquality twinlead, well installed,causes less signal attenuation thancoax at UHF frequencies.

No matter which type you select,use the best you can find. Cheaptwinlead often cracks or breakswithin a couple of years. Good

Working with Commercial -Audio Equipment

by Jack Hobbs

Part III --Learn the various distribution methods

employed in multi -speaker audio systems

Part II in this series appeared in the March 1972 issueof ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN/DEALER. That articledealt with basic considerations involved in selectingamplifiers, speakers and microphones. The present arti-cle will concentrate on audio distribution principles-basic techniques used where electron -tube and solid-state amplifiers are employed.

General ConsiderationsElectron -tube amplifiers require the use of hefty, well -

designed primary/secondary type output transformers.This is necessary for matching high -impedance electron -tube plate circuits to low -impedance speaker voice coils,for isolating the high dc B+ voltage from speaker voicecoils and for a measure of stability. Where an unusuallylarge number of speakers are required at different powerlevels, we find it convenient to use a "constant -voltage"distribution system-however, this becomes somewhatexpensive. In many cases, traditional series, parallel andseries/parallel direct -to -speaker methods can be used toadvantage with transformerless solid-state amplifiers.The primary advantage of transformerless distributionis a reduction of installation costs by eliminating ampli-fier output and line -matching transformers. Additional-ly, with direct interstage-coupling employed in thesesolid-state circuits, the overall system operates at higherefficiency. You get more milliwatts-per-dollar to thespeakers.

Low -Impedance Speaker CouplingCommercial -type electron -tube and solid-state mon-

aural amplifiers are available having output transform-ers which usually provide 4f/, 811 and 1611 speaker tapsin addition to 25v and 70.7v constant -voltage taps. Low -impedance taps are normally used when the speakerlines are not too long, while high -impedance taps arenormally employed on longer speaker lines to reduceline losses. In this case, line/speaker matching trans-formers are needed; and if the speakers are far apart, itis necessary to use a transformer at each speaker orsmall group of speakers.

When using series or parallel speaker connections, wehave a somewhat limited choice in the number of speak-ers that can be employed on low -impedance taps. Butwith series -parallel connections, we can do very wellwith low -impedance taps on both output transformerand transformerless types. That is, if the speaker linesare not too long. There is one problem, of course, with

series connected speaker groups. if one voice coil opens,all the speakers go dead.

Four 411 speakers are shown in Fig. 1 connected inseries to the 1611 tap of an output transformer second-ary winding. Two 1611 speakers connected in parallel tothe 811 tap are shown in Fig. 2. And four 1611 speakersare shown in Fig. 3 connected in parallel to the 411 out-put transformer secondary tap. This is about as far as wecan go in these directions without complications. Though,of course, we can go to series/parallel connections andconnect eight 811 speakers (four groups of two in series)to the 4f/ tap as shown in Fig. 4. (Or eight 1611 speak-ers to the 81/ tap.) And, as you can readily see without aschematic, 16 411, 16 811 and 16 1611 speakers can beconnected to the 411, 811, and 16f/ taps, respectively,by placing four groups of four speakers in series/parallel.

It is assumed in these examples that you won't both-er with mixing speakers of different impedances in par-allel and series/parallel. It is not usually recommendedin these cases, since it is seldom possible to get a properimpedance match. For example, if you employ one 811and one 16f/ speaker in the parallel circuit shown in

1 1 1 3Fig. 2, have: = RTyou would

RT=

812+

1611 1612 . =

1611= 51/211. You may not have trouble with the

3any

two speakers connected to a 411 tap, but the 811 speakerwill be drawing more power than the 1611 speaker, andthis must be considered. If you wanted a two -speakerarrangement to work that way-okay. But remember, ifthe same two speakers are connected in series, the effectis reversed. The 1611 speaker will consume more powerthan the 811 speaker.

High -Impedance SpeakerCoupling

With the higher -impedance output transformer tapswe can use longer lines with less power loss to the speak-ers by employing line/speaker matching transformers atthe speakers. We can also employ a larger number ofspeakers. Additionally, speakers can be arranged ingroups that run at different power levels, without anyheadaches.

However, the high -impedance facility is normally of-fered only in electron -tube output -transformer typeamplifiers with power output ratings of 1 Ow or 20w-having 50011 and 25012 taps respectively. The 50w am-plifier offers a 10011 tap. Some higher powered amplifiers

offer a little flexibility here for matching 500/60011telephone lines, but the output levels required are gener-ally low.

Two 1611 speakers are shown in Fig. 5 connected inparallel to a 25011 line through a matching transformer.In Fig. 6, four series/parallel 811 speakers are shownconnected to a 50011 line through a matching trans-former. When one (or more than one speaker) is con-nected to a single matching transformer, it must be cap-able of handling the total power drawn by the speaker(or speakers). And when the speakers are separated bya considerable distance, one transformer is used for eachspeaker-as shown in Fig. 7.

In many installations we may need to run one ormore speakers at different power levels. An example ofa low -power, 812 speaker system will suffice to illustrate(Fig. 8 )-although any reasonable number may be used-depending on the amplifier power provided. In thiscase, the amplifier is rated at 20w and is located quitesome distance from the nearest speaker, and each speak-er is separated a considerable distance. Two 2.5w, onelOw and five 1w speakers are needed. The 1w speakersare spread out over a large area. The maximum high -im-pedance tap on the output transformer is 25011.

The first step is to find the ratio between the totalpower (20w) and the speakers in each of the three

20wgroups. The ratio for each group is:

2.5w= 8:1 for the

two 2.5w speakers; Z-wv = 2:1 for the one lOw speaker;20w1w

= 20:1 for the five 1w speakers. These ratios show

the relationship between the line impedance and the to-tal effective parallel transformer primary impedances sothat a perfect match and maximum power transfer willtake place between the line and individual speakers.

The second step is to determine the required match-ing transformer primary impedance for the three speak-er groups. For the 2.5w speakers: 25011 (line imped-ance) x 8 (ratio figure) = 200011 or 2K. For the lOwspeaker: 25012 x 2 = 50011. And for the five lw speak-ers: 25011 x 20 = 500011 or 5K. The total effectivematching transformer primary impedance in parallel, ac-cording to ohm's reciprocals formula, equals precisely

2501/ ) It is understood, of course, that the matchingtransformer secondary impedances selected shouldmatch the speaker voice -coil impedances. Line matchingtransformers, which are already attached to speakers bythe manufacturers, have the proper secondary imped-ance to match the speaker voice coil.

Constant -Voltage DistributionSome technicians have become confused about "con-

stant -voltage" audio distribution systems. One erroneousidea is that this system "eliminates" the need for imped-ance matching. It does not, of course, since impedancematching is "built-in" and is automatic-just as auto-matic as the voltage in the so-called "constant -imped-ance" system just described for the 8f/ speaker system(Fig. 8). Another erroneous idea concerns "constant -voltage" itself. There is seldom 25v or 70.7v (or 141.4vin some older systems) of audio signal on the distribu-tion line-except when a constant amplitude test signaldrives the amplifier to its maximum rms power output.It does mean, however, that the primaries of each line/speaker transformer have the same voltage available toprovide its individual speaker with the power that it re-quires-determined by: the transformer's primaryimpedance and a perfect impedance match betweenthe transformer's secondary and the speaker voice coil.It is nothing more than a point of reference, a viewpoint-a convenience in eliminating some impedance -match-ing problems. (It is assumed here that the amplifier isdesigned to have proper output regulation.)

If the line/speaker transformer primary taps aremarked in watts, all we do is select the tap that will pro-vide the speaker with the necessary power and connectthe transformer primary across the voltage distributionline.

If the line/speaker transformer primary is marked inE2

ohms, use the equation P = , or you can use a volt-

age, ohms, wattage monograph to convert to watts.Whether we use a 10w, 50w or 100w amplifier in the

constant -voltage distribution system, the line signal volt-ages are the same (25v or 70.7v). And the experts tellus (if we have translated them correctly), that the sys-tem works best when the amplifier is loaded close to itsmaximum power rating-but not overloaded.

A three -speaker system designed from the 70.7vviewpoint is shown in Fig. 9. A lOw amplifier is used.(Note that the 811 speaker, rated at 2.5w, is being sup-plied with only 1.25w. Hence, there is enough reservepower to double the wattage on the 81 speaker or addan additional 1.25w speaker and not overload the am-plifier. The power is doubled on the 811 speaker merelyby moving the line to the 2.5w transformer tap.) Thisarrangement consists of one 451 speaker, supplied with2.5w; one 8f1 speaker, supplied with 1.25w; and one16ft speaker supplied with 5w.

Transformerless DistributionIn 1966 at a West Coast Convention of the Audio En-

gineering Society, a design engineer introduced a solid-state differential -type amplifier for stereo use which em-ployed six transistors in three cascaded complementary-symmetry emitter -follower stages in the output section.The driver/amplifier circuitry employed transistors to thefullest advantage by using direct interstage and directspeaker coupling. Research in these directions has beengoing on now for some years and commercial -grademonaural and stereophonic amplifiers are now beingmanufactured which employ the aforementioned circuit-ry and other modern techniques to produce more reli-able and higher -powered solid-state amplifiers, whichcan be used without output and line matching trans-formers in many modest -sized audio installations.

One line of solid-state commercial -type monaural au-dio amplifiers is available with or without output trans-formers. And the output transformer used in this line isan "autoformer" instead of a double -wound convention-al type. The output load -impedance and voltage tapsvary with different models. One 100w autoformer mod-el (Fig. 10) has 411, 811, 16fl and 25v and 70.7v con-nections. A similar model in this line does not use anautoformer-the output is taken from terminal 2 (PointD) on J105 as shown in the schematic. No octal socketis provided on the transformerless model. The outputimpedance on the 100w transformerless model of thistype is 851. It is 451 on the 60w, 85/ on the 35w and16f1 on the 20w amplifiers. It is said that the 8f/ out-put amplifiers can work satisfactorily into loads from 4f/to 10f1 and that the 1611 output can handle loads be-tween 14f/ and 2011. The output transformer section ofa more conventional type 100w solid-state amplifier isshown in Fig. 11.

It is obvious by now what our main problem will bewhen working with transformerless type solid-state am-plifiers. It will mean a little pencil work. And there isalways the square/square roots/reciprocals tables. Letus look briefly at the problem of employing speakers ofsimilar impedances running at different wattage levels.

Refer to the five -speaker arrangement shown in Fig.12. All of these speakers have a 16fl impedance. Threeare connected in parallel across the output while two areseries/parallel connected. The arrangement totals about4.6f/. If we use a 35w amplifier, we could run the threeparallel speakers at lOw each and the two in series/parallel at 2.5w each. (Five 4f1 speakers can also bearranged as shown in Fig. 13 to place a 1411 load acrossthe output of a 20w transformerless amplifier.)

These effects can also be approximated by usingspeakers of different impedances. For example, in thearrangement shown in Fig. 14A, the 411 speaker willdraw twice as much power as the 8ft speaker. By sub-stituting a 1651 speaker for the 811 speaker, the 411speaker will draw four times as much power as the otherspeaker (Fig. 14B). The reverse effect, as previouslymentioned, will take place when the two speakers arcconnected in series.

Selecting That Partnerby Ernest W. Fair

Damon and Pythias established themselves in all

history as the ideal combination of friends and

partners. History hints that their collaboration came

about through mere chance. The truth, without a

doubt, was that their undying loyalty to each other

came from careful selection on the part of each man.

A lasting and successful partner-ship in the electronic servicing in-dustry requires of each individual agreat deal more than knowledge ofbusiness details. The author hasmade a study of what it takes tomake a good partner in the servicebusiness as well as the contributingcauses which lead to the disruptionof new partnerships. This hasbrought up a number of factorswhich stand out as being well worththe consideration of every reader be-fore he enters into partnership withanother electronic technician.

Avoid the business thief who entersinto partnership with us as a meansof building a reputation for gettingestablished in our area and then af-ter a few years-when all of our oldcustomers have been developed intoa friendship-leaves the partnershipto establish a business of his ownnearby.

The law books are full of case his-tories involving damage suits be-tween former partners in businessbased on this very condition. Bysuch a maneuver, a zealous individ-ual can very seriously damage anelectronic service business that wehave taken years to build up.

We, of course, want an ambitiousindividual as our partner. He will beof much greater value than the manwho has no plans for the future. Butthe wise electronic technician canprotect himself from the businessthief by clauses in the partnershipcontract which prohibit such a stepby either partner (usually for fiveyears and within the business areawhere the firm is now established).

Techniques and technical knowledge ofour prospective partner should be ona par with or better than our own orwe will have a source of friction de-veloping within a very short periodof time. When the new partner is"green" to the business, an equalpartnership cannot exist. And wherehis experience and skills are far be-yond our own, we will have to takea back seat to him sooner or later.

Another reason for this point isto assure the harmonious operationof the business. Disputes over smallmatters can lead to big quarrels andtrouble in any partnership. Whenboth individuals have similar viewson what it takes to get the job done,this very big cause of friction willbe removed at the start.

He should have a type of personalitythat can handle the customers thatwe have built up in our establishedbusiness. Good work and good ser-vice naturally build a business, butthe personality of the owner himselfalways has a great deal to do withsustained profits. Not every electron-ic technician has the right personal-ity to operate an electronic servicecenter in any given community. Theman who can manage the most suc-cessful business in one area may bea big flop in another area.

Sufficient resources to hold up his endof the partnership are essential forpeace and harmony in the future andmay very well determine whether ornot the business can survive a periodof adversity.

Entering into partnership with anindividual who is without financialreserves or who is so heavily in debt

that there is little chance of his ac-cumulating any out of the profits ofthe business will mean that we mayhave to carry the entire load duringsuch a period, or if and when a nec-essary improvement or expansionarises in the future, in order to holdour place in competition.

No matter how skilled or how finea personality the prospective partnermay have, if he lacks resources ofany kind whatsoever, we are enter-ing into a partnership which may notsurvive the future and which couldvery well drag the business itselfdown to bankruptcy.

Compatible political, religious and simi-lar beliefs in partners will prove anasset well worth looking into whenselecting a partner. This does notmean that he must go to the samechurch as we do or belong to thesame political party. But it doesmean that if we are politically con-servative it is best that he shouldalso be conservative. And it meansthat if we are devoutly religious, weare asking for trouble by enteringinto partnership with someone whohas little or no religion of any kind.

We may consider ourselves a mas-ter at handling such situations, butin most cases we are fooling our-selves. Beliefs of this nature aredeep set in all of us. Where they arelacking completely in a partner,sooner or later a wide gulf of fric-tion will develop and it will lead totroublesome differences on manyother subjects of even a business na-ture.

What the trade thinks of him is ofvast importance to our future busi-ness welfare. This means what fel-low dealers and electronic suppliers,as well, think about our prospectivepartner. We must always rememberthat a partnership is viewed by oth-ers from the prospective of theweakest man in that partnership,seldom the strongest. And we canwell bear in mind that the credit rat-ing of the weakest partner will soondetermine the credit rating that oursuppliers will give the partnership.

What other dealers and electronicsuppliers think of the man we areconsidering as a partner is, there-fore, of great importance. It will payus to make a very thorough andquiet check-up among these people

TEST INSTRUMENT REPORT

B & K's Model 1465Triggered -SweepScope with Cali -Brainby Phillip Dahlen

B & K's Model 1465Triggered -Sweep Scope withCali -Brain. For moredetails, circle 900 onthe Reader Service Card.

New scope design simplifies making peak -to -peak voltage measurements

Although many of this scope'sfeatures are the same as those of theB & K Model 1460 Triggered -SweepScope currently being used in ourlab and described in our March1971 Test Instrument Report (page56), this new instrument contains anumber of additional helpful fea-tures well deserving another report.

Modern servicing techniques oc-casionally require that the electronictechnician make precise peak -to -peak voltage measurements ofwaveformsunder test. While initially this wouldseem like a relatively simple mea-surement, such is not always thecase. With some of the more com-plex waveforms spread across ascope's CRT, it is not always quick-ly apparent at what points the maxi-mum positive and maximum negativevoltages occur. After being certainthat the waveform is not subject toany tilt conditions, one peak pointmust be aligned with one horizontalscope gradient and the other peakpoint must be compared with one ortwo other horizontal scope gradientssomewhere else on the scope's grati-cule scale.

Such problems are virtually elim-inated with the Cali -Brain. After ob-taining the desired conventionalwaveform on this scope, one needonly pull the VERTICAL POSITIONcontrol knob to activate the Cali -Brain. This switches OFF the scope'shorizontal trace and the entire wave-form appears as but a single verticalline. If the initial waveform was ob-served on the .lv, .2v, lv, 2v, 10v,20v, 100v or 200v vertical scale,this vertical trace would automati-cally appear along the left verticalgradient-the currently used full-

scale voltage range appearing indigital form above this gradient.However, if instead the initial wave-form was observed on the .5v, 5v or50v vertical scale, the resulting ver-tical trace would automatically ap-pear along the right vertical gradi-ent-the currently used full-scalevoltage range appearing in digitalform above this gradient.

Assume that you were observinga relatively large and complexwaveform on the .1v scale and want-ed to make a quick peak -to -peakvoltage measurement. You wouldmerely pull the VERTICAL POSITIONcontrol knob and the waveformwould instantly become a verticalline running along the left verticalgradient, a ".100 volts full scale"

reading appearing above that gra-dient. With your hand still on theVERTICAL POSITION control, youwould then rotate the control so thatthe bottom edge of this vertical linewas centered at "0." You mightthen happen to note that the topedge of the vertical line extended tosay three markings below the "1"-having observed a 0.85v p -p signal.

Since some of the manufacturer'sspecifications for the Model 1465Triggered -Sweep Scope with Cali -Brain from those forthe Model 1460 Triggered -SweepScope, and since some of our read-ers may not have ready access toour March 1971 issue, we are in-cluding some of the new specifica-tions.

RCA SALES CORPORATIONColor -TV Chassis CTC40,44,47-Servicing SCR Sweep Systems

A poor, but common troubleshooting technique is thepractice of jumpering the circuit breaker to locate B+shorts-often making a difficult service job out of a rela-tively simple one because of additional component failures.Locating the induced problems usually requires more in-volved troubleshooting techniques than finding the originalone.

One example of this can become quite evident when ser-vicing the SCR sweep system. In the event the retrace SCR(SCR 102) or retrace diode (CR 402) fails (shorts), the155v supply is connected to ground through the input re-actor (T102) primary winding. Consequently, the circuitbreaker will trip-the normal protective action. If circuit

Now, after the original defective component (shorted re-trace SCR or retrace diode) is replaced, a new inducedsymptom of "no high voltage, circuit breaker holds" will heevident. Additional servicing time will he required to findthat the trace SCR has no gate pulse because the input re-actor has shorted primary turns.

Also, damage to the filter choke and/or power transfor-mer can he expected if the chassis is operated for anylength of time with the circuit breaker jumpered. Currentinstruments utilizing such chassis as the CTC46, CTC49and CTC54 have a fuse in series with the circuit breakerfor protection in the event that breaker action is defeated.

TECHNICAL DIGEST

RCA SALES CORP.Varactor Diodes

The technique of using a vacuum tube as a variablereactance was well known many years before the adventof TV. Numerous examples of this technique may befound in earlier TV receivers; e.g., reactance controlledhorizontal oscillators and reference oscillators. The useof a diode instead of a reactance tube allows a simplercircuit with the advantages of solid-state design. To under-stand how a varactor diode functions, it is necessary toconsider the conditions which exist at its P -N junctionwith various applied voltages. If the diode is forwardbiased, current flows, the impedance is very low, and anycapacitance which may exist across the junction is effective-ly short-circuited. Thus the varactor is operated reversebiased.

The conditions within the varactor diode when it is re-verse biased is shown in the illustration. When a positivevoltage is supplied to the "N" or cathode material and anegative bias is applied to the "P" or anode material, thecurrent carriers are attracted away from the junction,forming what is called a "forbidden region." Stated simply,

POSITIVESUPPLY

NEGATIVTSUPPLY

FORBIDDENREGIONS

POSITIVESUPPLY

this forbidden region is that portion of the semiconductormaterial on each side of the junction wherein "free elec-trons" and "holes" cannot exist, and therefore the materialin this area is essentially an insulator.

As the reverse voltage is increased, the size of the for-bidden region also increases. In effect the thickness of theinsulating material has been increased by the additional re-verse bias. Since the regions of the semiconductor materialin which current carriers can exist exhibit the properties ofconductors, the requirements of a capacitor (two conduc-tors separated by a dielectric) are fulfilled by the reverse -biased diode. Further, the "thickness" of the dielectric, andhence the amount of capacitance, may be controlled bychanging the applied voltage. Thus, the reverse -biaseddiode can be used as a variable reactor, or varactor.

The Sidetalk 23 is an all solid-statetwo-way radio with the maximum al-

lowed power of 15w PEP, plus fullcontrol of the 23 upper side bands, 23lower side bands or the 23 convention-al AM channels. The transceiver hasan adjustable SQUELCH plus a FINETUNING control of each channel, sothat any off channel crystal can be ad-justed right on frequency for both re-ceive and transmit. A noise blankercircuit with front control switch isuseful when heavy city traffic createshigher than normal noise interference.Features include a crystal -lattice filterthat provides proper bandpass withover 60dB suppression of unwantedsidebands. The AM receiver sectionuses dual conversion with ceramic fil-tering for better than 70dB image re-

jection. New high-powered, RF-outputtransistors are used for both final anddriver stages according to specifica-

tions, so that reliable operation can becounted on even under the most severeoperating conditions. The unit oper-ates from 12v dc for mobile use orwith a companion regulated powersupply for 117v ac base operation.Pathcom, Inc.

stallers generally staple the twinleadalong the baseboards. Use as fewstaples as possible, try to hide thetwinlead in closets and under rugs,and be sure that staples do not con-tact the conductors inside the twin -lead.

If you are using coaxial cable,fewer restrictions apply. You cantape coaxial cable directly to themast and staple it to the roof (usea staple gun with rounded crownstaples for speed). Staples should beinserted with enough depth to holdthe coax securely in place. (Fig. 5shows a typical coax installation.)

You can run coax anywhere,alongside wires, inside pipes, next tometal-anywhere. There are onlythree cautions: Do not crush coax. This causes amismatch, resulting in signal atten-uation and smears. Do not bend coax too sharply orit will collapse, causing the sametypes of problems as crushed coax. Terminate coaxial cable careful-ly. One loose strand in a connectorcan cause a short, ruining reception.

Whichever lead-in wire you use,fasten it securely to the antenna.Use spade lugs to attach twinlead tothe antenna terminals. Tighten theterminals firmly and then spray withacrylic for weatherproofing. Be sureto take the twinlead through theantenna strain relief so that there isno pull on the antenna connection.

Coaxial cable requires a match-ing transformer. The matching trans-former generally slips right onto theantenna. Protect the connection withacrylic spray.

Before fastening the coax to thematching transformer, coat both themale and female connectors withsilicon grease. Then, use a weather -boot to keep moisture out. Thismakes a very solid, secure connec-tion, which you should point to withpride when you show the completedinstallation to your customer.

If the installation includes a rotor,be sure to leave enough slack in thedownlead to permit a full 360° turnof the rotor.

GroundingEvery antenna installation must

be grounded. According to the Na-tional Electrical Code, you musttake the mast and the mount directlyto ground with no splices or connec-

Chroma CircuitsThe chroma circuits are con-

tained on the PW700 chroma board.This board should help to reduceyour tube inventory because alltubes employed on the board aretype 6GH8's. There are also threetransistors employed-one in eachof the following circuits: ACC am-plifier, color killer, and tint modula-tor circuits. The RED, GREEN andBLUE SCREEN, COLOR KILLER andPICTURE TUBE BIAS controls are alsomounted on this board.

Deflection CircuitsThe PW500 deflection board con-

tains the vertical oscillator and out-put, transistorized sync separator,horizontal oscillator and reactancecircuits. The HORIZONTAL HOLD,VERTICAL LINEARITY and HEIGHTcontrols are also mounted on thisboard.

High -Voltage System

The high -voltage circuits are con-tained on board PW900, which in-cludes the focus board, P159. Withthe exception of the high -voltagemultiplier, which is bolted to themain chassis and connected withpush -on connectors, the completecircuit can be pulled for service.This chassis uses a fifth harmonichorizontal output circuit and a solid-state -high -voltage rectifier.

The relatively low impedance ofthe high -voltage circuitry eliminatesthe need for a regulator tube-it be-ing controlled with the use of varis-tor feedback. This system reportedlyhas high reliability without X-radia-tion and stabilizes the high voltageat greater brightness levels and witha lower beam current than third har-monic systems.

The high -voltage rectifier used inthis chassis is of solid-state design,incorporating a multiplier circuitconfiguration. Pulses from the hor-izontal output transformer (approx-imately 8.33kv) are coupled to themultiplier unit. These pulses causethe capacitors within the unit tocharge in such a manner that theirvoltage become "stacked" to pro-vide the tripling action, producingthe required 25kv. Essentially, thetripling action requires four or fivepulses to be completed.

tions along the way. Also, groundwires must be heavy copper, alumi-num or copper clad steel. Generallyspeaking, aluminum is favored bymost installers because it is light, in-expensive, corrosion resistant andeasy to handle.

You can use either a cold waterpipe (hot water pipes will not do)or a ground rod as a ground elec-trode. In practice, installers almostalways use ground rods, whichshould be driven at least 3 ft intothe ground.

If you are using coaxial cable, allyou really have to do is connect themast to the ground rod. If it is atwinlead installation, you shouldalso ground the twinlead, using alightning arrestor, as shown in Fig.2, 3 and 4.

If you plan ahead and work in-telligently, you can make excellentinstallations in a remarkably shorttime. Invest in good tools and goodmaterials and you will soon estab-lish a reputation as the antenna ex-pert in your area.

in our industry before we sign thepartnership papers.

Such a check-up can often revealinformation concerning an individ-ual about which we were not evenaware at the time-information thatcan be of such a nature as to pre-clude the advisability of taking thisman under consideration as a part-ner. It is far better to discover thesethings before the papers are signedthan afterwards.

His past reputation in the communityshould be investigated very thor-oughly for we must bear in mindthat the reputation of our firm willbe no better than that of this partnerin the future. A man who is knownfor sharp practices, cutting corners,underhanded techniques, etc., car-ries that reputation with him evenwhen he enters into partnership witha businessman who is the direct op-posite. And he drags down the goodbusiness reputation of his partner nomatter how forceful an individualthe latter may be.

The fine reputation that we buildup over many years will mean littleto our customers if we enter into a

partnership with a man devoid ofsuch a reputation. Our customersimmediately assume that they havebeen wrong about us and that wewere that type of businessman allalong or have decided to becomeone, otherwise we would have neverentered into partnership with suchan individual.

Each of the foregoing factorsshould be checked as carefully asthe business ability of the man thatwe are considering as a businesspartner. They can make or breakthat partnership and do so before wewill be able to realize what is hap-pening.

When working with these arrangements, you may findit more convenient to "see" the groups as symmetricalequivalent circuits. They may look less confusing. Asshown in Fig. 15, there are 14 speakers represented intwo groups: six 1611 and eight 811 speakers. The totalimpedance comes out to exactly 9.611. Each speaker inthe 1611 group can run at 4w-a total of 24w. And eachspeaker in the 811 group can run at 4.5w-a total of36w. Hence, a 60w amplifier would be in order.

It is possible to work out almost any speaker com-bination to match a transformerless amplifier's outputimpedance and fit a desired installation-except possi-bly where a very large number of speakers running atdifferent wattage levels are employed (usually beyonda total of 18 or 20 speakers). Once again, the manufac-turer of high -quality audio products can and is usuallyglad to help you. Available literature has various speak-er combinations worked out in advance. Chances arc,you will find onethat fits the installation you have inmind-with only slight variations necessary.
