Transistorized Test Unit substitutes the tuner in defective TV Receiver to prove whether
original tuner is good or bad. Performs tests normally made using elaborate and expensive signal generating equipment and oscilloscopes . . . but much more simply, with
easily understood results. Tests that are, in fact, so simple that they can be made right
in the home, in most cases without removing the tuner or chassis from cabinet.

semantics, we would like to go on record, so to speak, as observing that the
stylus of today bears no more resemblance to a needle than it does to a
ten -penny nail. In fact, it is probably the most skillfully assembled, critically
important component in any high fidelity system. It must maintain flawless

serviceability something for everyone
had the honor recently of being asked to serve on a National Electronics Association (NEA)
serviceability panel. had heard about serviceability before. General Electric has used it in their
color TV advertising and at various Association meetings, groups of technicians would get together
to discuss serviceability problems. But this was my first experience on an actual panel.
The panel consists of a group of certified electronic technicians (CET's) who sit down with the
set to be rated. There is a complete checklist that is used by the panel members and every aspect
of the set that pertains to rapid, accurate service is spelled out and checked. For example, "Is more
than one tool required to remove the back of the set ?" "Are all service controls accessible through
and identified through the back of the set and identified on the chassis? Do non -module transistors
plug in? Does shielding interfere with service procedures?"
I
Each question has a point rating and for the set we checked -a Panasonic CT -70 -a maximum
total of 805 points was possible. The set received 723 for a serviceability rating of 89.8 %.
But the important thing is not the rating that a particular set earns. It is the effects of the rating
system that is really meaningful.
1. The technician benefits -every technician -the reason is simple. The manufacturer wants his
his newest set to get as good a rating as possible so the technician will tell his customers how
good that brand of set is. To help their ratings, some manufacturers are already making
improvements and additions to chassis to enable them to earn higher ratings.
2. The set owner benefits. He gets a set that is easier to repair and therefore less expensive to
maintain. With the current ever -increasing cost of a service call mandated by the ever increasing expenses of operating a business and keeping proficient, trained people available;
the faster the technician can do the job, the less it will cost. Cut 30 minutes off a repair job and
a customer can benefit rather substantially.
3. The set maker benefits. He gets word -of -mouth advertising or can use the serviceability
rating in his own advertising.
The end result is wider acceptance and cooperation with the serviceability program. At the
October meeting of NEA's Board of Directors, ISCET, the International Society of Certified
Electronic Technicians, was assigned to administer the serviceability project. ISCET will appoint a
new national committee made up of 20 technicians who will perform all official in -plant inspections
of TV receivers, stereo phonos, radios and other electronic products ordinarily serviced by
independent service technicians.
The beneficiaries will be the consumer who gets his set back from the repair shop sooner; the
manufacturer whose product is more easily repaired; and the service technician who can be more
efficient and who can charge a legitimate price for the repair rather than having to charge for a lot
of wasted time due to poor thought given to "how can this be repaired should it need it ?" before
the product was built.
-Larry Steckler, Editor
Serviceability is indeed something for everyone.

Is this the flat TV display
of the future? Zenith's research vice president, Dr.
Robert Adler, was noncommittal: "What we have
learned is encouraging. However, there are many problems to be solved before
these panels can be considered for product use. The
present panel produces a red
monochrome picture, and
three colors must be generated in the panel. Each column of the display requires a
driver which, in a commercial
unit, would mean 1500 separate drivers. This will require
integrated circuits that will
handle the needed voltage.
And finally, much higher luminance and better power utilization will be required."

comparison with a CRT," Zenith's vice president of research, Dr. Robert Adler,
told the conference.
The system uses the crossbar approach, as seen in the drawing. A full
horizontal line of cells is addressed at
one time, in contrast to the sequential
dot-by -dot lighting of the conventional
picture tube. The video signal for each
line is stored in each of the vertical columns. These discharge simultaneously
for each line. Variation of charge in the
capacitors produces a wide -range gray
scale.
Dr. Adler pointed out that much remains to be done before the experimental system can be put to commercial use.
The present picture is red, and panels
for two more colors must be produced.
Since each column requires a separate
driver, a full -width display would have to
have 1500 drivers. This will necessitate
development of integrated circuits that
can handle the required voltages. Luminance will have to be increased and better power utilization achieved, said Dr.
Adler.

joints. It can also be used "one handed" so that the other hand can be
used to set the tracer controls.
This is the part that impresses me
more than anything else. The probe
lets you make valid in- circuit tests, a
vital consideration with today's equipment. You can actually "go into" a
three or four -stage transistor amplifier
to get a check on each transistor without disconnecting anything! This is a
test that has been very difficult to
make in the past, and one that will be
more and more necessary in the future.
Explained as briefly as possible, a
curve -tracer applies a swept collector
voltage to the transistor (in the 501A,
up to 100 volts at 100 mA). A staircase of current steps is applied to the
base, from 1.0 sA per step up to 2.0
mA per step. This causes the scope to
display a "family" of curves, one for
each step of base current. This is the
key pattern: no family, no work.
Ac and dc beta, gain, load- lines,
leakage, shorts, opens and collector
voltage breakdown can be read from
the family of curves. In other words,
curve, Go; no curve, NO GO. Reverse
breakdown voltage can also be tested
and read from the scope. Diodes of all
kinds -Zeners,
rectifiers,
detectors,
switching diodes can be checked.
FET's of all types (J- FET's, MOSFET's,) plus UJT's and SCR's can all
be tested the same way and with the
same ease. For FET testing, voltage
steps are provided on the step selector
switch.
A polarity switch is mounted on
the panel for testing npn or pnp transistors. Just below this is the selector
switch for hooking up either the right
or left transistor socket or probe -jacks.
This is very useful for matching transistors of all kinds. The two transistors
are plugged into the sockets, and a
curve is set up on the screen for either
one. The selector switch is then
flipped to the other side; if the transistors match, the curve will remain the
same. Even complementary- symetry
output transistors (pnp /npn) can be
checked for matching. All you need to

MORE ON THE
FUNCTION GENERATOR
Several problems crept into the Radio- Electronics Function Generator story
(September and October 1972). The
pulse waveform is shown upside down in
the photos. On the overlays, timing capacitors C11 through C16 are shown interchanged; the largest capacitor goes
with the lowest frequency at the top of
the instrument. The input POWER callouts
should, of course, go up with the input
terminals on the fuse and power transformer.
Resistor R27, the 1- megohm pulse
unbalancing resistor should go to +10
volts as called out in the schematic, The
PC overlay and master has this going to
-10, which gives you one -third amplitude
and very noisy pulse putput. Carve and
jumper the PC board so that this resistor
runs to + 10.
There is enough linearity variation
from IC to IC that you'll want to custom
calibrate your frequency dial to match
the particular IC you are using. A larger
value resistor for R10, perhaps 1000
ohms or 1200 ohms should be used unless your particular IC will not provide
enough range. This improves linearity
and makes the control setting easier and
more stable.
The amplitude compensator shown
seems to work only with certain XR -205
chips. A better circuit looks like this:

Ask your dealer also about Crown's new companion D150 power amplifier, which delivers 200

No amp in this power range - however expensive

noise or distortion. It offers performance equal
to the famous DC300, but at medium power and
price. It's worth listening into!

A whole new world of visual DX'ing will open for the
dedicated hobbyist as well as the knob twiddler. Virtually
every major country and many of the smaller ones as well,
will have direct -to-you color television transmission via satellite. For the consumer, reception will mean an investment
of $50 to $500 in equipment, with the price dependent on
the degree of sophistication of the equipment and the installation ability of the owner. For multi -family home
dwellers an understanding landlord will be a must.
In addition to a television receiver, the shortwave
viewer will need a roof-mounted steerable-dish antenna
and a tuner -converter. The cost and expertise required for
successful stationary satellite launching will, at first, handcuff prospective amateur ham telecasters. But enough statewide clubs will start considering such a move -one will actually put in a launching request with NASA -that the
FCC will organize and oversee the placing of amateur -use
satellites in strategic locations above the U.S.

display devices
There'll be no substitute for the picture tube in the
decade to come, but there will be alternatives and innovations. Super -thin conventional color television receivers
will have cathode ray tubes with the electron gun mounted
at right angles to the screen. The result will be a 19 -in. set
thin enough to fit on a standard bookcase shelf. Deflection
plates inside the tube will divert the electron beam, causing
it to sweep across the tube face.
The "hang it on the wall" television display will get
here at last. Thanks to the perfection of plasma technology
the industry will realize the dream of television as a picture
in a frame. The display itself will be a glass sandwich containing pockets of gas and a network of wires. The gas
trapped in each nearly microscopic pocket will glow in either red, blue or green when addressed by a current from
the wires running through it. Initially the screen will hang
on a wall and be connected to the remotely located chassis
by wires. But innovations in microelectronics will permit
the insertion of all electronic circuitry in the frame itself.
With power supplied by a compact microwave transmitter
plugged into any convenient nearby outlet, the need for
any exposed wiring will be eliminated.

enterprises who will charge for the programs on a per-show

show will run around $5. In many instances the consumer
will find that his special interest programming can be

fiddle -free TV
The button, knob and switch will be a fond relic of
the 1970's as far as the television receivers of tomorrow are
concerned. Except for channel changing and volume levels
the television owner will have no adjustments to make. The
set itself will automatically adjust its brightness to ambient
room light, then compensate its contrast to the brightness.
An inconspicuous sensor will constantly monitor the set's
picture quality, compare it with reference signals being
transmitted along with the program and adjust hue and tint
accordingly. There will of course have to be an automatic
mode override for the consumer who insists on exercising
his preferences. But manual adjustments will be tucked
well out of sight.
There'll be no need for channel indicators on the set
itself. Each station will be transmitting its identification
during the vertical blanking interval. The number and call
letters will show up in a corner of the screen for a 6 to 10second display, then fade. A touch on the designated spot
on the electronic tuner or the remote control unit will
cause the identification to reappear.
The solid -state chassis modules of tomorrow, like the
receiving tubes of yesterday, will be consumer replacable.
In the exceptional event that the set does malfunction, the
consumer will remove suspected modules and take them
out for testing. A popular accessory at $25 will be the testing computer. A 3 "x5 "x2" black box, the computer plugs in
to a "service" jack at the rear of all new sets. A magnetic
program card gives the computer the operating parameters
for each module in the set. The computer checks the modules, displays the number of the malfunctioning one on its
2 -digit alphanumeric readout.

other accessories
A standard accessory will be a frame snatcher, a device capable of memorizing and holding a single picture
frame until erased, and displaying that frame on a television screen for an indefinite period. With a frame snatcher
incoming information can be instantly recorded for intensive study while the valuable communications line itself
is freed for other uses. Feeding the output from the frame
snatcher into its companion facsimile printer will produce a
hard copy of any of the material received by the television
receiver.
Of course the most popular attachment to your televi-
sion set of tomorrow will be the video disc player, with the
home video tape recorder running second. But other accessories will allow the television screen to be used as the display for a calculator, a drawing board to plan out construction projects or lay out electronic circuits. With the
typewriter keyboard attachment, the television set will become a home electronic typesetter on which youngsters can
write and edit school term papers. When satisfied with the
drawing, building plan, schematic or thesis, the information
can be transferred to magnetic tape for storage or fed to a
facsimile for copying on paper.
machines played back normally. The owner learned by experience to increase the level of the defective channel during
record.
The trouble was eventually traced to C113, the emitter
bypass capacitor for X104. It had opened, which reduced the
gain of the left channel record head driver. It was replaced.
The difference in gain was not apparent on the VU meters or monitor headset during record because these monitor
circuits are tapped off ahead of the record head drive amplifier.- Donald R. Hicke

Besides the possible intermittent display, another problem exists in direct counting. Incoming SSB signals are not at
a single frequency. A number of frequencies are present, represented by an audio bandwidth spaced either above or below
the zero -beat or suppressed carrier frequency, depending on
whether an upper or lower sideband signal has been received.
A typical USB (upper sideband) spectrum might appear as in

In a typical receiver like this, received signals at frequency F coming from the antenna are successively amplified and converted to other frequencies, F2, F3, and F4. The
ultimate output is recovered audio at frequency F4. So, in this
receiver the only signal at the listening frequency is F I. Can it
be counted directly and displayed? Possibly. External amplification would be required to raise incoming signals from the
microvolt level to approximately a quarter of a volt, sufficient
to trigger most counters. In effect, the counter would be
driven directly by received signals which, of course, are not
always present. The counter would read out or display a frequency only when signals were tuned in.

Frequency mixing
The next step toward greater accuracy and reliability in
counting receiver frequency is to generate the operating frequency as indicated by the receiver's mixing scheme. In our
previous example of a subtractive mixing scheme, a signal at
the operating frequency can be generated and counted as
shown in Fig. 3.
The output of Mixer A is tuned to the difference frequency between the hfo and vfo. This signal is then sub tractively mixed with the bfo. The resultant is a signal equal
in frequency to F1, the operating frequency. Additive mixing
can also be used depending on the individual receiver's mixing scheme.

counter (where the signal source and the counter's timing signals are not synchronized).
When transceiving, both transmit and receive frequencies are the same in the SSB mode. However, in the CW
mode the bfo shifts about 1000 hertz during transmit. Since
the SB-650 counts the bfo, it will display the CW carrier frequency during transmit.
The SB -650 has been designed for SSB and CW operation; a receiver operating in the AM mode does not require a
bfo, hence the frequency displayed would be higher than the
operating frequency . This can be better understood by looking at the basics of SSB and AM demodulation.
An SSB signal as shown in Fig. 2 has no carrier. To extract the modulation (as an audio frequency), the receiver essentially reinserts a carrier. This is done by mixing the bfo
and intermediate frequency (i.f.) in a product detector. The
output is audio. In other words, both bfo and nominal intermediate frequencies are identical and any variations in the i.f.
are detected as audio components in the received signal.
In the AM mode, the bfo is not needed because the carrier (converted now to the intermediate frequency) is present.
An incoming AM signal is demodulated by detecting the amplitude variations with a diode. After filtering out the i.f. (cartier), only audio frequencies remain.
Recall the simple formula, F = hfo -vfo -bfo. The SB -650
performs this operation even if one of the inputs is missing
(equals zero). This, then, is what happens in AM operation.
With the bfo shut off, the SB -650 display would only show
hfo minus vfo. This is also equal to the operating frequency
plus the bfo frequency.
Heath Company does not provide instructions for other
makes of equipment, since it has no control over their designs. Operation of the SB -650 with other receivers depends
on two criteria. First, the receiver must be subtractive -type
single or dual conversion where the received signal is subtracted from either the hfo or vfo. Secondly, the loading of the
receiver's oscillators by the SB -650 must not degrade its normal performance. Heath units are not degraded due to sufficiently high oscillator signal levels.
Low -cost frequency counters and counting techniques
are now within reach of most amateurs. They can be applied
to receivers a number of ways depending on the desired accuracy and reliability. Technology is now offering the amateur
radio operator the long sought means of accurate frequency
indication.

Zero voltage on the emitters of the
horizontal emitter -follower and driver
indicate no conduction in these transistors. No waveforms here shows why
the horizontal oscillator isn't running.
You say you have about 8 volts on
both base and emitter of the oscillator
transistor, but read zero on the base of
the emitter -follower. This is very odd.
The base-emitter junction of the emitter-follower is in the emitter return circuit of the oscillator-directly coupled to
it! So, you could have a break in the PC
board conductor between these points,
or an open 100-ohm resistor in sets using that part. Or the emitter -follower

Power supplies
Last year Motorola introduced an
electronic power supply that is synchronized to run at the horizontal line
frequency 15,734 Hz *. From listening
around we are led to understand that
this is a definite trend, and in the next
few years we will see everyone gravitating to this type of supply. Transformer core material can be drastically
reduced because of the higher operating frequency, and careful design
will increase efficiency since normally
wasted power can be conserved. Because the bulky power transformer has
disappeared Motorola has been able
to put most of the supply on a single
module. In its place is a transformer
resembling a flyback in construction.
The switching type circuit includes

second thing that has to be done is to
reduce the amplitude of the blue signal. This is the most popular method
used to produce automatic tint correction. The other ways to reduce the Q

think of the effect by viewing the unmodified phase diagram as a circle

RCA does not recommend trying
to use tube jigs on solid -state stuff.
They have two versions; in the large tube type, the 10J102 matches all tube
type RCA sets back to the CTC -7, including the 21 -inch round, and 19-,
20 -, 23- and 25 -inch rectangulars. The

even be carried into the customer's

of using the jig's picture tube as a sub,
to convince the owner that his picture

RCA does not recommend trying
to "convert" tube -type jigs for use
with solid -state defection components.
However, their engineers tell me that
it is not necessary to buy two complete test -jigs! You can buy the tube type jig, and a set of the "neck components" (deflection and convergence
yokes, convergence board, etc) of the
type used in the transistor sets. If
needed, these can be installed on the
picture tube already in the jig, in

stereo preamplifier featured on last month's cover. Designed around des crete semiconductors instead of IC's, this lab- quality stereo preamplifier
uses a modular concept based on plug -in PC boards for simplicity, ease of
construction and troubleshooting; and push- button bass, treble and function
controls for versatility and resetability.

One ofour
most successful students
wrote this ad!
Harry Remmert decided he
needed more electronics
training to get ahead. He
carefully "shopped around"
for the best training he could
find. His detailed report on why
he chose CIE and how it worked
out makes a better "ad" than
anything we could tell you.
Here's his story, as he wrote it
to us in his own words.
By Harry Remmert
Harry Remmert gives his CIE Electronics course much of the credit for
starting him on a rewarding career. He tells his own story on these pages.
RADIO-ELECTRONICS
'CIE backs its courses with this famous Money -Back Warranty: when you
complete a CIE license preparation course, you'll be able to pass your FCC
exam or be entitled to a full refund of all tuition paid. Warranty is valid
during completion time allowed for your course.
JANUARY 1973
www.americanradiohistory.com
"In closing, I'd like to get in a compliment for my Correspondent Counselor who has faithfully seen to it that my
supervisor knows I'm studying. I think the monthly reports
to my supervisor and generally flattering commentary have
been in large part responsible for my pay increases. My
Counselor has given me much more student service than
"the contract calls for," and I certainly owe him a sincere
satisfaction."
Perhaps you too, like Harry Remmert, have realized that
to get ahead in Electronics today, you need to know much
more than the "screwdriver mechanics." They're limited
to "thinking with their hands" ... learning by taking
things apart and putting them back together ... soldering
connections, testing circuits, and replacing components.
Understandably, their pay is limited -and their future, too.
But for men like Harry Remmert, who have gotten the
training they need in the fundamentals of Electronics, there
are no such limitations. He was recently promoted, with
a good increase in income, to the salaried position of Senior
Engineering Assistant working in the design of systems to
silence submarines. For trained technicians, the future is
bright. Thousands of men will be needed in virtually every
field of Electronics from two -way mobile radio to computer
testing and troubleshooting.

"And finally, there is Mr. Tom Duffy, my instructor. I
don't believe I've ever had the individual attention in any
classroom that I've received from Mr. Duffy. He is clear,
authoritative, and spared no time or effort to answer my
every question. In Mr. Duffy, I've received everything I
could have expected from a full -time private tutor.
"I'm very, very satisfied with the whole CIE experience.
Every penny I spent for my course was returned many

MATHEMATICS
from the Indiana Home
Study Institute
We are proud to announce two great
new courses in Engineering Mathematics
for the electronic industry.
These unusual courses are the result of
many years of study and thought by the
President of Indiana Home Study, who
has personally lectured in the classroom
to thousands of men, from all walks of
life, on mathematics, and electrical and
electronic engineering.
You will have to see the lessons to appreciate them!
NOW you can master engineering
mathematics and actually enjoy doing it!
WE ARE THIS SURE: you sign no
contracts -you order your lessons on a
money -back guarantee.
In plain language, if you aren't satisfied you don't pay, and there are no
strings attached.
Write today for more information and
your outline of courses.
You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain!
NO HIGH VOLTAGE
I've got a weird condition in an
Admiral IH2 portable. The fuse blew; I
replaced it. Now, there's no high voltage, and the screen grid resistor of the
33GY7 gets very hot; smokes. I tried a
new 33GY7, and got a raster for a moment, then it went out and the resistor
smoked again. -D. Q., Omaha, Neb.
Take a very close look at the
plate connection of the 33GY7 socket
on the circuit board; the plate connection of the pentode output section,
that is. I believe you'll find that this

READER QUESTIONS
INTERMITTENT BRIGHTNESS
I thought this one would be simple
but it wasn't. In an RCA CTC-15, the
raster would go out. Move the I2BY7
video output tube, and it came back. I
replaced the tube; got about a week and
the same thing. So, I replaced the tube
socket, and I've still got the same problem! The 12BY7 goes dim and out goes
the raster. N.P.S., Greencastle Pa.
It is simple (he said hopefully!)
I've had the same thing in my own
ancient RCA. Try this: run a jumper
wire, solid No. 20 at least, from the
ground terminal of the 12BY7 heater
to the nearest ground. Now, for luck,
run another from the hot 6.3 volt
socket terminal to the nearest lance on
the board; toward the front of the

ALARM BUSINESS!!!
A
Burglar alarm installation is one of the most rapidly
growing industries today. The tremendous publicity associated with security systems has created a widespread
demand for installation of alarm systems.
A formal program has not been previously available to
an individual seeking training in this profitable field. Now
Ademco, the world's leading manufacturer of burglar
alarm equipment offers you an opportunity to learn
alarm installation techniques even if you have little or
no experience in the alarm field. In just two short days
you can be ready to install your first alarm!
Seminars are held throughout the year at Ademco's plant
in Syosset, New York and at various locations throughout the country. All sessions are limited in attendance,
so reservations should be made well in advance.

ARE PRICES ON ELECTRONICS COMPONENTS REALLY GOING UP? Of course, no one knows for sure, but we are of the
opinion that they are. The recession in the electronics components business is truly over; sales are at a new record. Our, and other
"independent distributors" ability to negotiate low prices because of manufacturers' overcapacity is greatly reduced. Many items,
such as TTL devices, LED's, and MOS LSI are rationed. Our advice? Place your order now for a good stockpile of components
while the hobbyist's paradise still exists.

CRYSTAL CHRONOMETER
Revolutionary!, was the reaction of opr customers
when they saw our latest kit. Measuring only 2-1/2"
x 2-1/2" x 4 ", and accurate to 10 seconds a month,
this chronometer promises to entirely replace mechancial clocks in cars, boats and airplanes.
Fits into a standard 2-1/4" instrument panel cutout
The displays are bright L.E.D. displays that should
last a lifetime. Setting controls are recessed and operate from a pointed object such as a pencil point or
paper clip, in order to keep non-authorized hands off.
The clock should only have to be reset at very great
intervals, or in the event of power loss (i.e. replacing
battery in car). The clock is wired so that the timing
circuits are always running, but the displays are only
lit when the ignition is on, resulting in negligible
power drain. The low price is only possible because
of a new one chip MOS clock circuit, developed for
quartz crystal wristwatches.
Operates from 10-14 Volta D.C. An accessory unit
which mounts on the back adapts the unit to 20-28
volts for twin engine aircraft and larger boats using
24 Volts ignition. Know how disgusted you are with
the usual car clock? Order this fine unit now for rallying, sports events, navigation, or just to have a fine
chronometer that will give you a lifetime of superbly
accurate time.

uses two 45-volt lamps which draw 55mA apiece. These are shunted by a pair
of 2200 -ohm resistors and are in series
with the tuning -meter lamp, a 12.6 volt
75 -mA type. This whole string is across
the 117 -volt line, with a 220-ohm 2 -watt
resistor in series.
These are special lamps; the 45volt types are RCA part No. 165296.
and the 12.6 -volt one is No. 165295.

CRYSTALS? OSCILLATOR OR
FILTER?
This isn't a regular question about a
problem, but it's been bugging me for
some time. Why isn't a crystal used alone
in a color set, instead of being used as an
oscillator? I get different opinions from
people. -R.R., Dyess AFB, Tex.
A crystal, to simplify things, can be
thought of as a very sharp resonant circuit. The "Q" (figure of merit) is tremendous. So, we can use one to lock the
frequency of an oscillator, by substituting the crystal for the resonant circuit.
We can also use it as a very narrow
filter, by putting it in series with the incoming signal. In quite a few sets, they
pass the actual 3.58-MHz burst itself
through the crystal, and then amplify it
in the following stage.
With either method, we come out
with what we must have: a signal which
is locked to the station burst frequency
for reference.
