                                    Model         “750”

                               Instruction          Manual

The Eddystone ‘750’ receiver is of the double superhetrodyne type and combines                high
sensitivity with an unusually good signal-to-noise ratio.         All but two of the eleven valves
are of the miniature type, details being provided with the circuit diagram. The selectivity
is continuously variable over wide limits and this feature, in conjunction with the separate
RF, IF and AF gain controls, enables maximum results to be secured under varying conditions
of operation.
The four ranges are as follows :
                        Band |...          32   Mc/s,   to   12     Mc/s.
                          Band2...          12 Mc/s. to       4:5 Mc/s.
                          Band3...           4:5 Mc/s.to      1:7 Mc/s.
                          Band4    ... 1465 Kc/s. to 480 Ke/s.
The fifth position of the wavechange switch desensitises the RF section of the receiver to
permit a pick-up to be used without break-through.
The Amateur Bands are distinctively marked in green, on the basis of the International
allocations made at the Atlantic City Conference in 1947. The broadcast bands are shown in
red. It should be noted that the scale markings (all in frequency) are linear and also that the
International Distress frequencyof 500 Kc/s. is covered.

obtained but, as the selectivity is still considerably higher than that of an average receiver,
a certain amount of side-band cutting occurs and high fidelity reproduction is not to be
expected. A minor point to be noted is that the loudspeaker or telephones should be
capable of responding to low audio frequencies (down to 100 or 150 cycles), otherwise the
middle audio register is likely to be unduly emphasised.
When heterodyne interference is experienced, the selectivity should be increased by
rotating the control to the left, thereby reducing the bandwidth and weakening the strength

                                      NOISE LIMITER.
In a quiet situation, it will not be necessary to make use of the noise limiter but when
electrical interference of a staccato nature is experienced (on telephony or CW), switching
on the noise limiter will effectively remove a high percentage of the interfering noise, with
little effect on the strength of the signal and without introducing distortion. The noise
limiter must not be expected to act effectively with noise of a mushy type, as generated by
vacuum cleaners and other electrical equipment incorporating motors           — these should be
filtered with suppressors at the source.
In a noisy location, it is well to erect an aerial well in the clear and as far as possible from
electric light wiring. The stronger the incoming signal, the more the gain of the receiver
can be reduced (automatically on telephony,      manually on CW)     thereby reducing also the
effect of any interference being picked up.
                          USE OF THE STANDBY SWITCH.
The Standby switch, in the ‘‘ off’’ position, desensitises the receiver very considerably.
This system is considered preférable to cutting the H.T. supply, for several reasons. The
oscillator valves continue to operate under normal conditions, thereby preventing any
change of frequency during standby periods and, since the audio stages remain “‘ alive,’’,a
monitor signal can be fed into the pick-up terminals and become audible on the loudspeakef,
or telephones.                                                                    ji
The receiver itself also becomes available as a monitor of the outgoing signal.   It is necessary
to prevent excessive RF voltage reaching the receiver aerial terminals during transmission
and the wires to these terminals should be kept as short as possible. If a separate aerial is

                                                                                                            CC
used for reception, arrangements should be made for disconnecting or earthing it during
periods of transmission.
                           CONNECTION           OF   “S”    METER.
The Eddystone Cat. No. 669 ‘‘S ”’ Meter is recommended for use with the ‘* 750 ”’ Receiver.
It incorporates a sensitive moving-coil meter of 200 microamperes full scale deflection.
The flexible lead from the meter terminates in an octal plug which should be inserted in the
sockét marked ‘‘ A '’ in Fig. 2 at the rear of the receiver.
Reference to the circuit diagram of the receiver will show that one half of the double-diode
V7 is in series with the meter movement. This prevents reverse current flowing through the
