  • Notes
  • The Ultradyne L2 was first manufactured for the UV201A with thoriated filament, which was announced in December 1922. In August 1925 the UV201A was withdrawn and replaced by the UX201A. They have later also been fitted with UX112, UX171 or UX171A but we don't put that into the tube line up as "or" because that was at least a year later of the UX201A variant.

    The Ultradyne L2 is a super with RF reaction. Whether it is similar to the Keystone L2's is uncertain. The manufacturer Keystone Radio Service offered kits according to The Radio Trade Directory of Aug.,1925.
    Two dials (primary tuning control knobs).

Die Besonderheit der Ultradyne-Schaltung liegt darin, dass die Mischtriode keine Anodengleichspannung erhält. Stattdessen liegt sie an der Oszillatorwechselspannung. und wird damit voll durchgesteuert.

Die Anodenspannung für die Mischtriode kommt galvanisch über mehrere Spulen (1.ZF-Filter und Eingangskreis-Rückkopplung) vom Gitter der Oszillatorröhre. Am Gitter der Oszillatorröhre steht die Schwingung leicht ins negative verschoben, mit 50 V positiver und 60 V negativer Halbwelle. Entsprechend an der Mischeranode (Oszillogramm ohne Eingangssignal, bei verstimmtem Eingangskreis).

20V/div.
