6. Contractor's Performance:
a. On schedule and expected to remain so: Yes
b. Within obligated funds and expected to remain so: Yes
c. Satisfactory technical progress: Yes
??7. Project Status:
Evaluation of all the electrical circuit breadboards is complete.
The artwork to convert these breadboards to PC cards is being prepared.
This work is approximately 85% complete. A representative exterior
case was constructed and the layout of the circuit boards, tuning
capacitor, and the dial assemblies was demonstrated.
The mechanical design is about 95% complete and detail drawings
are now being prepared. The variable capacitors have arrived and meet
both mechanical and electrical specifications. The major mechanical
problem remaining concerns the gear and dial assembly. The initial
quoted delivery date for the finished item is unacceptable if contract
delivery scheduling is to be met. A second vendor source was contacted
and has promised a much shorter delivery cycle. The mechanical layout
will be complete as soon as the second vendor's gear assembly drawings
are received.
The ferrite for the loop antennas was received and cut to the
required shape. The ratio meters, used for,the automatic readout
also have arrived and a mounting arrangement was evolved to permit
lighting of the meter face.
Present scheduling calls for assembly and bench testing of the
DF-1+'s during July. Actual field testing is projected for approxi-
mately the second week of August. This appears to be a realistic
schedule and---if it holds-will permit the equipment to be delivered
ahead of schedule.

The pros and cons of mobile operation of the DF-4 were discussed.
- felt that it would be possible to remote the ratio meter, dial
tuning (excluding band switching), and the volume control. However, mobile
operation might involve concealment of the DF-4 in a luggage rack of a
vehicle for example. This is fine except that the vertical sense antenna
cannot be remoted and would protrude approximately 40 inches. This may
limit the operational usefulness of the device.
