ATTENTION!
Since October 1957, the monitoring. circuit of the radio
set has.been changed whereby the audio signal from the detector
(JI-101) is fed directly to the audio frequency amplifier (1i-305),
by-passing the mixer(JI-301) through an additional capacitor
C-333 of 1,000 pf. -Capacitor 9-333 is connected between terminal
fl4U and the control grid ofJI-305 in the antenna element.
Resistor R-317 is eliminated.
The capacitance of C-329 was changed from 510 to 1,000 pf..
In this connection a note is.introduced on the.-schematic
diagram in the specifications.

3. The output stage of the medium-wave unit is designed for
operation over a trailing antenna of steel cord with a length up
to 75 meters, regardless of.the type of aircraft. In addition,.
the output stage provides for operation over a rigid L-type and an.
inclined beam-type antenna with a length of 12-15 meters.
4. The output provided to the trailing antenna by the trans-
mitter varies depending on the resistance and reactance of the an-
tenna, and amounts to approximately 59-80 watts in the telegraph
mode and 10-20 watts in the voice mode. Besides, the transmitter
can operate by telegraph and voice at lowered (25 percent) output.
5. The medium-wave unit is efficient at flying altitudes to
8,500 meters for operation at full output, and up to 1+,000 meters
for operation at reduced (25%) output over the trailing antenna;
and for an altitude up to 5,000 meters at full output and 9,500
meters at reduced output over the fixed antenna.

The medium-wave unit is efficient for changes in the voltage
of the aircraft circuit of ? 10%, i. e., at 24.3 and 29.7 volts.
7. The medium-wave unit is efficient fgr changes in ambient
temperature from . 50 deg C to -60 deg C.
8. The medium-wave unit of the radio set permits continuous,
operation for a period of 30 minutes after initial switch-on, and
extended operation (to 10 hours) based on a cycle of 5 minute opera
tion and 10 minute break.
9. All control of the radio set during flight -- conversion [SPN 7]
from reception to transmission, from voice to telegraph, from full
power to reduced power, and the switching of three waves remotely
is performed from the control panel using three toggle switches
and one gang switch located on it.
Structurally, the control panel is together with the telegraph
key. For convenience in monitoring the operation, the transmitter
of. the radio set has control of its voice and telegraph operation
based on radio frequency, regardless of the receiver tuning.
10. The following types of tubes are used in the medium-wave.
unit SVB-5: two r-411 and one I'K -71.
A type ZIPII-4 germanium diode is used as a radio frequency
rectifier in the tuning indicator circuit.

Below is given a description of the stages?of the medium-wave
. unit.
Master Oscillator.
The master oscillator operates with a'" r 411" type tube (A -101),
which is a pentode beam power tube.
The oscillator consists of an oscillatory network in the control (SPN 13]
grid circuit and a feedback coil in the plate circuit.
The oscillatory network consists of an L-101 self-inductance
.coil with a'carbonyl iron core for adjustment of the inductance,
two parallel connected variable air capacitors C-101 and C-102
serving to cover the frequency range of the exciter, trimmer capaci-
tors C-103, C-10n, and C-105 for adjusting the initial capacitance
of the variable capacitors and correcting the frequency of the exciter
during a tube change, and a ceramic capacitor C-106 serving to
accommodate the frequency range on the scale of the master oscillator.
The L-102 feedback coil is wound on the same frame as the cir-
cuit coil.
To prevent the possibility of spurious oscillations arising,
the coupling coil is made, of a. conductor with a high resistance
(constantan).
A distinguishing characteristic of the system is the use of a
very weak grid coupling and a plate circuit with a network, which
ensures high stability of the frequency generated by the master
.oscillator. .

r
In order to obtain a weak coupling, a radio frequency voltage
is fed to the grid of the tube, not from the whole circuit, but from
part of the' turns of the circuit coil. Oscillations are sent to the
control grid of the tube through the C-109 capacitor.
The necessary negative bias on the grid of the tube is produced
by the grid currents flowing through the R-104 resistor, bypassed
,by the 'C-103 capacitor.
The plate power supply of the master. oscillator is drawn from
a f 350-volt source through an R-101 dropping resistor. ?
The screen grid of the tube is fed from a potentiometer consist-
ing of resistors R-102 and R-103 connected between a t 350-volt
source and the frame.
The screen grid is blocked from radio frequency by the C -107
capacitor.
Either a positive (i. 27) or a negative (-300) ,'voltage is fed
through the P -105 resistor, blocked by the C -110 capacitor, to-the
suppressor grid of the tube of the master oscillator -- which accom-
plishes telegraph manipulation.
In the "key down" mode as well as in the voice mode of operation [SPN 14]
the suppressor grid supply of the master oscillator is from a $ 27-
.volt source. .
In the "key up" mode a negative bias of -300 volts is supplied
to the suppressor grid, the plate current of the tube is sharply
reduced, the. tube cuts off, and the generation of oscillations
ceases.

B. Intermediate Stage
Radio frequency oscillations are supplied from the master oscil-
lator circuit through the C -111 decoupling capacitor, bypassed by
the R ?106 resistor, to the control grid of the A -102 tube.of the..
intermediate stage, identical with the tube of the master oscillator
( r-x+11).
As seen from Diagram No 2., the intermediate stage operates with
an aperiodic load at the plate on the L-104 choke coil.
The necessary bias in the control grid of the tube in the inter-
mediate stage is obtained by the grid current flowing through the
B. -106 resistor and the current flowing through the R -116 resistor.
The R -116 resistor serves,also to remove any interaction between
the intermediate stage and the master oscillator.
The power supply for the plate of, the intermediate stage comes
from a** 350-volt source through the R -119 dropping resistor.
The screen grid of the tube of the intermediate stage, blocked
from radio frequency by the C -112 capacitor, is supplied from a
350-volt source through the R -107 dropping resistor.
As with the master oscillator, either. a positive (a 27) or a
negative (-300) voltage is supplied to the suppressor grid of the
tube of the intermediate stage, blocked from radio frequency by the
C -113 capacitor, for accomplishing telegraph manipulation.

in the master oscillator and the intermediate stage are connected to
the frame of the unit, a potential drop across the R-109 resistor
causes a negative bias in the control grids of both tubes which is
sufficient to terminate the oscillations of the master oscillator
and the intermediate stage.

The suppressor grid is blocked from radio frequencies by the
0 -118 capacitor, which has a high resistance'to audio frequen-

To obtain the desired operating point on the modulating curve a
negative bias from a special rectifier in the power unit is supplied
to the suppressor grid. This bias is obtained from a potentiometer
consisting of resistors FL-220 and R -221.
During telegraph operation with full power + 50 volts is sup-

potentiometer, which is connected to a $ 350-volt collector. This
potentiometer,~consisting of. resistors FL-229 and F I-230, is located
in the power unit.
The voltage is supplied to the suppressor grid of the tube in
the output stage through the L-105 radio frequency choke coil, which
presents a low resistance to a direct current and an audio frequency
current.
This choke coil serves to prevent the passage of radio fre-
quency currents through the plate-suppressor grid capacitance of the
tube to the power lead.
Besides its operation in the voice and telegraph modes at full
(100%) output, the output stage of the unit can also operate in these

Reduced output is attained by supplying appropriate negative

The screen grid of the tube in the output stage, blocked from

grid, is sufficient.
This condition is utilized to equalize the load on the 1000-volt
collector between pauses and signals during operation in the.tele-
graph mode at full (100%) capacity.
As described earlier, telegraph manipulation in the SVB-5 unit
is accomplished by "blanking" the tubes of the master oscillator and
the intermediate stage. Thus, when the key is released (pause), radio
frequency oscillations are absent from the control grid of the tube`
in the output stage.

bias would be equal to zero and the plate current of the tube would
.attain a magnitude on the order of 250 ma. This would mean that
during a pause the power, being dissipated at the plate of the tube,
would not be great enough.
When a negative bias is supplied to the grid entirely from a
constant source, the plate current of the tube during a pause would
drop to zero, since the bias required for the tube (-50 volts) cor-
responds to the point at which the plate current ceases, and in the
"key down" mode (signal) the plate current would attain a maximum..
Thus, the load on the 1000-volt collector would change from
zero (pause) to maximum (signal).
This would lead to 1000-volt oscillations and would mean that
at the beginning of a signal'the voltage on the plate of the tube in
the output stage would be noticeably higher than at the end of the
signal. In consequence of this, the quality of high-altitude opera-
tion would deteriorate.
To eliminate this effect, the bias on the control grid of the [SPN 19]
tube is in a combined form, whereby the magnitude of the bias fromca
constant source is such that in the pause mode the power required
by the plate of the tube is only k0%-60% of the power required in
the signal mode, and the power allowed to dissipate at the plate of
the tube (125 watts) does not increase.
The voltage on the filament of the tube in the output stage
comes from the control panel only when the SVB-5medium-wave unit
is in operation.

As is known, during the detuning of the output stage of a simple
circuit all the power supplied will be dissipated at the plate of the
tube. This can lead to failure of the tube in the output stage.
In order to avoid this, place the switch in the "H " position
when starting to tune. For this position of the key, the screen and
suppressor grids of,the tube 'in the output stage are supplied from a-
27-volt aircraft circuit.
The power supplied to the plate of the tube is reduced sharply
and there are no detrimental effects from the detuning of the circuit,
ing on the unit, this switch is also used for decreasing the power
dissipated at the plate of the tube during tuning.
However, the oscillatory power in the circuit will decrease and
the current in the antenna will be negligible. Therefore, it becomes
difficult to record the tuning of the circuit on the T 5-1 ammeter
with the thermocouple connected to the antenna counterpoise networks

A detailed description'of the tuning indicator is given in-the
instructions for the 8 -805 radio set.
After the circuit has been tuned, turn the switch to the right
position, causing the screen grid to draw a ,normal voltage from the
f 350-volt collector and the suppressor grid to draw ? 27 volts as
before.
For this position of the switch a final fine adjustment of the
circuit of the output stage is made on the basis of the highest read-
ing of the T 5-1 instrument.
The supply to the plate circuits, screen grids, and suppressor
grids, and of negative biases to the control grids of the tubes in
the output stages of the various radio frequency units is from the
same points, common to all units, since of all the units of the radio
set there is only one in which are connected the filaments of the
