  • Annotazioni

  • The Postal Improved SW Booster No. 231 has the following features:

    • Two-Stage SW TRF Preselector-Booster for TRF or Superheterodyne SW radios.
    • Boosts the tuned SW signal, which is then connected to the SW radio antenna input.
    • SW frequency is tuned with the booster's TRF 2-gang tuning capacitor and tuning coils.  SW Radio should be tuned to the same SW band and frequency as the booster.
    • Front panel SW TRF tuning coils are removable to select the SW bands (assumed the same as the earlier model):
      • "A"   14-29 meters (10.3-21.4 MHz)
      • "B"   29-55 meters (5.4-10.3 MHz)
      • "C"   55-90 meters (3.3-5.4 MHz)
      • "D"   90-200 meters (1.5-3.3 MHz)
    • Powered by 110V AC.
    • Power switch: On / Off.
    • Volume control.
    • Rear terminals: Antenna In +, Antenna In -, GND.
    • Shielded cable pigtail to the SW radio: Antenna Out, GND.
    • Antenna Select switch: Booster On (Antenna In + to booster, booster output to Antenna Out) / Bypass (Antenna In + direct to Antenna Out).

    This model was an improvement over the earlier model for the following reasons:

    • AC power now applied through a power transformer, which isolates AC Line and Neutral/GND from the chassis/GND, eliminating a possible AC shorting issue as described in the earlier model page.
    • Higher B+ voltage to about 200V (from 90V) for greater gain and selectivity.
    • Air vents added to the cabinet sides.

    The earlier model was the Postal Short-Wave Booster.
