SECTION I

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Hallicrafters Model SR-160 Transceiver is a precision-built, compact, high-performance radio equipment of advanced design. This transceiver utilizes 17 tubes and a single conversion heterodyning system to provide for the transmission and reception of single-sideband (SSB) and continuous wave (CW) signals on the 80 , 40 , and 20 meter bands.
The versatility of SR-160 equipment permits it to be operated as a fixed station or as a mobile equipment. A 117-volt, 50/ 60-cycle AC power supply complete with speaker (Model PS-150-120) is available for fixed-station use; a12-voltDCpower supply (M ode l PS-150-12), and a m obile installation kit (Model MR-160) are available when the transceiver is to be used in a mobile application.
An advanced feature of the SR-160 equipment is the Receiver Incremental Tuning (RIT) control. This control enables the operator to unlock the receiver frequency without disturbing the transmitter frequency, and tune the receive r approximately three KC either side of the transmitter frequency. Rotating the RIT switch to OFF automatically returns the equipment to the transceiver condition.
Another special feature is the amplified Automatic Audio Level Control (AALC) which functions in the transmit mode. The AALC circuitry prevents

“splatter” due to severe “flat-topping” of the final amplifier by providing approximately 15 DB of compression after a small amount of “flat-topping” occur s.
Other features of the Model SR-1 60 Transceiver include:
· A stable, accurately-calibrated VFO.
.A built-in, 100-KC crystal calibrator circuit, (Model SR-160 is supplied less crystal and tube).
.Lower sideband operation, 80-meter and 40-meter bands ; upper side band on 20-meter band: Manual SSB operation (push-to-talk) and manual CW operation. Provision for voice controlled SSB ope ration (VOX) with accessory unit.
. A crystal-lattice filter.
· A product detector.
· An S-meter/ RF output level indicato r.
IMPORTANT
Do not, under any circumstance, attempt to operate the SR-160 equipment before becoming completely familiar with the instructions contained wi thin this manual.

3-6. MOBILE NOISE SUPPRESSION.
The following suggestions may be helpful in the suppression of noise encountered in mobile operation. Install resistor-type spark plugs and coaxial bypass capacitors in the ignition coil, generator and voltage regulator leads. Install bracket-mounted coaxial capacitors in the generator and battery leads to the voltage regulator and connect a 0.005 jJ. F mica or disc capacitor from the generator lead to ground. Chokes maybe used in the generator fields and armature leads instead of the bypass capacitors – approximately 12 turns of NO. 18 wire on a 1/4-inch powdered iron core for the field lead choke and apprOximately 12 turns of NO. 12 or NO. 14 wire on a 1/4-inch powdered iron core for the armature lead choke.

IMPORTANT
Before operating the Model SR-160 as a transmitter, set the bias adjustment control on the PS-150-12 Power Supply as outlined in paragraph 10-2.

Hallicrafters has available a Mobile NoiseSuppreSSion Kit, Model HA-3, which will fulfill any suppression requirements ofthis installation.

Only after familiarizing yourself with the controls and their functions, as outlined in Sections IV and V, should you perform an operational check. It is recommended that the engine be running while operating the Model SR-160 Transceiver to prevent draining power from the battery.

Additional information, concerning the proper suppression of mobile noise, is available in the Handbook of Instructions for Hallic rafters , Model HA-3 Mobile Noise Suppression Kit and in other current handbooks on the same subject.

SECTION IV

FUNCTION OF OPERATING CONTROLS

All controls utilized during normal operation of Hallicrafters Model SR-160 Transceiver are located on the front panel (see figure I).
4-1. RIT CONTROL. ON/OFF.
The Receiver Incremental Tuning (RIT) control consists of two controls with concentric shafts. The ON/OFF function of the lever control either puts the variable-element RIT control in or out of operation. This control, in the ONposition, enables the operator to fine-tune the receiver plus or minus three KC by means of the RIT potentiometer (round knob) without disturbing the initial calibration or transmitting frequency. Returning the control to the OFF position again locks the receiver frequency to the transmitter frequency. RIT must be turned OFF to calibrate the dial or to operate the transmitter and receiver on a common frequency.
4-2. RF GAIN – AF GAIN.
The RF GAIN and AF GAIN controls are two controls mounted on concentric shafts. The RF GAIN control (lever control) varies the gain ofthe receiver RF amplifier stage. Maximum sensitivity is obtained with the control set fully clockwise.
The AF GAIN control (round knob) adjusts the audio output level at the speaker terminals and PHONES jack. Clockwise rotation increases the signal applied to the grid of the audio amplifier, thus increasing the audio level.
4-3. OPERATION.

balanced out for SSB operation. In the CAL position, the unit operates in the receive mode, but with the lOO-KC marker crystal oscillator running to supply calibration signals at the lOO-KC points on the dial.
4-4. MIC CONNECTOR.
The MIC connector provides for the connection of a push-to-talk microphone for use in SSB transmission.
4-5. DIAL CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENT (DIAL CAL).
The DIAL CAL control varies the frequency of the variable frequency oscillator (VFO) over a small range so that the dial calibration may be set precisely when compared to a standard.
4-6. FREQUENCY.
The FREQUENCY (tuning) control determines the frequency to which you are listening or transmitting. (Refer to RIT control effect paragraph 4-1.) This control is connected to the tuning dial which presents a visual indication of the frequency in the left-hand window on the panel.
4-7. BAND SELECTOR.
The BAND SELECTOR control is a threepOSition switch used to select the desired band of operation. The bands of operation are referenced to the wavelength in meters, that is, 80M, 40M and 20M.

The OPERATION control is a five position switch. In the OFF position, all power is disconnected from the circuitry. In the REC ONLY position, the receiver portion of the transceiver is placed in operation and all circuits common to both receiver and transmitter are in the receive condition, while circuits used only in the transmit mode are either biased off or switched off by the control relay. In the CW-TUNE position, the control relay switches the circuitry to transmit condition, and if the unit is properly tuned it will deliver a CW signal, the level of which is controlled by the CARRIE R control. Inse rting an open circuit key into the KEY jack will interrupt the signal and the unit may then be keyed (CW operation). In the SSB operation, the circuitry is switched to receive conditions until the microphone PTT switch is closed. The control relay then switches the circuits tothe transmit mode with the carrier

4-8. PHONES JACK.
This receptacle provides for the use of headphones. When the headphone plug is inserted, the speaker is disabled. High or low impedance headphones may be used.
4-9. DRIVER TUNE.
The DRIVER TUNE control resonates the associated RF amplifier and mixer stages in both the transmit and receive modes of operation. When operating in the receive mode, the control requires occasional “touch-up” to obtain maximum receiver sensitivity as the unit is tuned across the band. For transceiver operation, the control is always tuned for maximum transmitter output and left at this setting during the receive portion of the contact.

4-10. CARRIER-MIC GAIN”
The CARRIER and MIC GAIN controls are separate potentiometers operating through concentric shafts.
The CARRIER control (lever control) sets the RF output level for CW operation and during the transmitter tuning process for CW or SSB operation. The control is functional only in the CWTUNE position ofthe OPERATION switch. Turning the control clockwise increases the RF output level.
The MIC GAIN control (round knob) sets the audio level to the balanced modulator stage from the microphone amplifier stages. The control has sufficient range to handle any high impedance, high or low level microphone designed for voice communications.

4-11. FINAL TUNE.
The FINAL TUNE control drives a variable capacitor that tunes the pi-network used to couple the PA stage to the antenna load. The control is calibrated in band segments to permit presetting the capacitor near resonance during the tuning procedure.
4-12. S-METER.
This meter functions as an indicator of relative signal strength in the receive mode and as a relative power output indicator in the transmit mode. It is switched automatically when the mode of operation is changed.

SECTION V TUNING PROCEDURE

5-1. GENERAL.
The tuning procedure of the Model SR-160 Transceiver is not complicated; however, care should be exercised when tuning to insure peak performance of the equipment. The following paragraphs describe the procedures for receiver and transmitter tuning.
IMPORTANT
Before operating the SR-160, the bias adjustment control on the power supply must be set. See paragraph 8-3 of alignment procedure.
5-2. RECEIVER OPERATION.
Preset the controls as indicated:
RIT ………… OFF.
RF GAIN . . . . . . . Maximum (clockwise).
AF GAIN . . . . . . . As required.
DIAL CAL . . . . . . . Center or leave in calibrated pOSition.
BAND SELECTOR .. Desired band.
FINAL TUNE…… Nonoperating.
CARRIER …….. Nonoperating (Full CCW).
MIC GAIN . . . . . . . Nonoperating (Full CCW).

OPERATION . . . . . ” REC ONLY position.
FREQUENCY. . . . . . Desired frequency.
DRIVER TUNE …. Adjust for maximum S-meter reading on Signal or maximum background noise.
As the receiver is tuned across the band an occasional readjustment of the DRIVER TUNE control will be found necessary. Maximum AVC effect will be obtained with the RF GAIN control set at maximum sensitivity. The use of the RF GAIN control unde r special ope rating conditions is left to the discretion of the operator.
5-3. DIAL CALIBRATION.
The follOwing procedure is applicable if the crystal calibrator has been made operational and calibrated per paragraph 8-6.
Preset the controls as outlined in paragraph 5-2, except set the OPERATION control at CAL.
To calibrate the dial, set the dial to the lOO-KC point nearest to the desired frequency. Rotate the DIAL CAL control for zero beat.
It may be necessary to increase the AF GAIN control setting to recover sufficient audio near zero beat. The RIT control must be in the OFF pOSition when calibrating the dial.
After calibrating the dial, return the OPERATION control to either REC ONLY or SSB to receive on the desired frequency. Repeak the DRIVER TUNE control as required.

·11

5-4. BASIC TRANSMITTER TUNE-UP.
Preset the following controls as indicated:
CARRIER …….. Initial setting at minimum (Full CCW).
MIC GAIN . . . . . . . Initial setting at minimum (Full CCW).
BAND SELECTOR .. Desired band.
FINAL TUNE…… Desired band segment.
RIT CONTROL …. OFF
FREQUENCY. . . . . . Desired frequency.
DRIVER TUNE …. Use initial setting obtained for receive mode
OPERATION …… REC ONLY.
Set the OPERATION control at CW-TUNE and close the key circuit ifakeyeris plugged into the key jack. Rotate CARRIER control (lever control) clockwise until a small indication is observed on the S-meter. In the transmit mode, the S-meter indicates relative RF output voltage. Adjust the FINAL TUNE control for maximum output, and then adjust the DRIVER TUNE control for maximum output voltage. Adjustthe CARRIER control as required to keep the S-meter reading near S-9 while tuning.
Always use the DRIVER TUNE setting obtained during transmitter tuning when receiving on the frequency. The setting obtained while tuning the receiver is generally two broad to satisfy the transmitter requirement.
5-5. CW OPERATION.
Tune the transmitter as outlined in paragraph 5-4. When akeyer is plugged into the key jack, its key circuit must be closed to permit tuning for either CW operation or SSB operation. If the SR-160 is used to drive a linear amplifier, adjust the CARRIER control (lever control) for the drive level required by the linear amplifier. When operating into an antenna load, advance the CARRIER control to just below saturated drive level.
Saturated drive level is determined in the following manner. Start from the full counterclockwise CARRIER control setting and slowly increase the output (clockwise) while observing the S-meter. Set the control at a point where further rotation does not cause an appreciable increase in the S-meter reading. This is saturated output (operate slightly below this level).
12-

The transmitter is now ready to key. To receive, return the OPERATION control to the REC ONLY position.
5-6. PUSH-TO.TALK OPERATION.
Tune the transmitter as outlined in paragraphs 5-4 and 5-5. Note the S-meter reading obtained for maximum drive level to the linear amplifier or the maximum saturated output when operating into an antenna load.
Return the CARRIER control to mlmmum output and set the OPERATION control at SSR
Depress the microphone push-to-talk switch, speak into the mic rophone in a normal voice level, and advance the MIC GAIN control (round knob) until the S-meter swings upward to approximately one-half the reading noted at maximum output during tuning with carrier_
The MIC GAIN control setting will be found to be less critical because ofthe compression action of the AALC circuitry; however, the knob setting still depends upon the type of mic rophone, the operator’s voice characteristics, and his operating habits.
Sufficient microphone gain has beenbuiltinto the SR-160 to handle the usual range of levels associated with communication type microphones.
ReleaSing the microphone switch button will return the transceiver to the receive condition.
NOTE
If a keyer circuit is left plugged into the key jack, it must be closed to permit SSB operation.
5-7. VOICE CONTROLLED SSB OPERATION.
The Model SR-160 Transceiver operates SSB with push-to-talk control; however, the VOX Control Unit Model HA-16 is available for voice controlled single side band operation. When this accessory unit is installed, the following operating procedure will apply.
Initially set the PTT- VOX selector switch of the VOX control unit at PTT, and set the three controls (SENS, DELAY and ANTI-TRIP) at their full counterclockwise pOSitions. Reduce the AF GAIN on the transceiver to a relatively low level.
Use the tuning procedure outlined in paragraphs 5-4,5-5, and 5-6 to ready the transceiver for SSB operation.

With the OPERATION control on the transceiver set at SSB set the selector switch on the VOX control unit at VOX and set the VOX accessory unit controls as follows:
1. Advance the SENS control (clockwise), while talking into the microphone, until the VOX relay closes on the first syllable of speech. (Use no more VOX gain than necessary for best results.)
2. Adjust the DELAY control for the desired drop-out delay. The delay period increases as the DELAY control is turned clockwise. The delay period should be long enough to prevent change-over between words but not long enough to miss the other operator’s quick reply.
3. Set the receiver AF GAIN control for the desired listening level and advance

the ANTI-TRIP sensitivity control (clockwise) until the recei1t”‘ed signals do not actuate the VOX relay. Excessive anti-trip gain or a major increase in the established listening level may lock out the voice control system.
With the VOX accessory unit adjusted, either method of control may be selected by simply setting the selector switch for either PTT or VOX.
NOTE
Some microphones equipped for push-totalk control have shorting contacts in the switch to disable the microphone element when the pushbutton is released. VOX operation will not be feasible unless this circuitry is disconnected within the microphone.

SECTION VI THEORY OF OPERATION

6·1. GENERAL.
The Model SR-160 Transceiver consists of a single conversion receiver and single conversion transmitter. The VFO circuitry, the heterodyne crystal oscillator (40M band) circuitry, the carrier/BFa crystal oscillator circuitry, the AVC/ AALC amplifier-detector circuitry, the meter circuitry and the crystal filter/IF amplifier circuitry all are common to both the transmitter and receiver systems. Refer to figure 9 for the block diagram of the equipment and to figure 20 for the schematic diagram.
6·2. RECEIVER SECTION.
The signal at the antenna is fed to the receiver’s RF amplifier stage (VI) through the antenna relay (K2) located in the transmitter final amplifier section. The signal is amplified and fed to the receiver mixer (V2) where it is heterodyned with the VFO (variable frequency oscillator) on the 80M and 20M bands, or with the product of the VFO and the heterodyne crystal oscillator on the 40M band to produce the 5200 KC intermediate frequency.
The RF amplifier and mixer tuned circuits are selected by the BAND SELECTOR switch and tuned by the DRIVER TUNE control.
The signal, now at intermediate frequency, is fed through the crystal filter and further amplified by two stages of IF amplification (V3 and V4). The output of V4 is fed to the product detector (V5) and to the AVC amplifier/detector (VIO). At the product

detector the signal is mixed with the 5200 KC BFa signal to produce the audio frequency product desired. The audio frequency signal passes through the AF GAIN control for level control, and is amplified to speaker power level by audio amplifier tubes V5B and V6.
The intermediate frequency Signal fed to the AVC amplifier/detector stage (VIO) is amplified further and rectified to produce the AVC voltage fed back to the grids of the RF amplifier stage (VI) and the first IF amplifier stage (V3) to control overall system gain for variations in signal level at the antenna.
A sample of the AVC voltage is fed to the grid of the meter amplifier (V4) to display received signal levels on the S-meter.
6·3. TRANSMITTER SECTION.
The audio frequency signal from the microphone is amplified by the two-stage microphone amplifier (V9) with the MIC GAIN control for level control. The amplified audio signal is fed through a cathode follower stage (V8B) to the balanced modulator.
At the balanced modulator the carrier oscillator (V8A) signal is modulated by the audio signal to produce a double sideband suppressed carrier signal centered on 5200 KC. The output of the modulator is fed to the crystal filter where the lower sideband is attenuated and the upper sideband is passed on to the first IF amplifier stage for further amplification.

RECEIVER SIGNAL

– COMMON SIGNAL -7- OSCILLATORS

From the IF amplifier stage the signal is fed to the transmitter mixer stage (V13) where it is heterodyned with the VFO signal on the 80M and 20M bands or with the product of the VFO and the heterodyne crystal oscillator on the 40M band to produce the desired transmitter frequency.
The signal, at output frequency, from the transmitter mixer is then amplified by the transmitter driver stage (V14) and the power amplifier stage (V15 and V16) and fed to the antenna through the antenna relay.
The RF output voltage is metered by the S-meter for “tune-up” and monitoring purposes by dividing down the RF voltage level, rectifying it and feeding the DC voltage to the grid of the S-meter amplifier tube (V4B).

The tuned circuits of the transmitter mixer and driver stages are selected by the BAND SELECTOR switch and tuned by the DRIVER TUNE control. The power amplifier output tuned circuit is selected by the BAND SELECTOR switch and tuned by the FINAL TUNE control.
The Automatic Audio Level Control (AALC) circuitry operates in the following manner. When a small amount of “flat-topping” occurs in the final amplifier, a ripple voltage at audio frequency develops on the amplifier grid bias line in proportion to the amount of “flat-topping.” This audio signal, which is not present without final amplifier “flattopping,” is coupled to the AVC/AALC amplifier tube V10 whose output is a rectified DC voltage. The resulting DC voltage, which is in direct proportion to the degree of “flat-topping” occurring in the final amplifier, is fed to the firstIF amplifier grid as gain control bias.

SECTION VII

SERVICE DATA

7·1. CHASSIS REMOVAL.
To remove the chassis from the cabinet, remove the four cabinet screws at the bottom near the cabinet feet, and carefully slide the chassis and panel assembly out from the front of the cabinet.
7·2. TUBE AND DIAL LIGHT REPLACEMENT.
Access to the dial light and all tubes may be obtained by removing the chassis from the cabinet. See paragraph 7-1.
7-3. TROUBLESHOOTING.
In the design of this transceiver, full consideration was given to keep maintenance problems at an absolute minimum. As in all well-designed electronic equipment, maintenance and repair problems are generally confined to the checking and replacement of tubes and semiconductor devices which may become defective. Malfunctions of this nature are usually easily isolated and corrected. However,it is entirely possible that a more obscure malfunction may arise. In this event, only thoroughly trained technical personnel should attempt to service equipment of this complexity.
A recommended aid to troubleshooting the Model SR-160 Transceiver is ageneral- coverage receiver which can be used to provide a quick check on the various oscillator circuits within the SR-160. A lead connected to the antenna of this receiver, when placed in the proximity of the

oscillator tube in the circuit to be checked, can determine the presence or absence of signal from the stage in question.
If a malfunction occurs when operating on one particular band and/or mode of operation, the unit should be checked on all other bands and in all other modes of operation to isolate the difficulty. A careful study of the block diagram (figure- 9) will give a quick clue as to which tubes should be checked. The voltage and resistance charts (figures 10 and 11) and schematic diagram (figure 20) will also aid in isolating and correcting a malfunction.
7-4. SERVICE AND OPERATING QUESTIONS.

b. Set the OPERATION switch at REC ONLY and allow approximately ten minutes for the unit to warm up. Then set the OPERATION switch at SSB, the MIC GAIN full CCW, and press the microphone switch to close the relays.
c. Adjust the bias for 60 milliamperes idle plate current with the BIAS ADJ. control (R206) on the power supply (0.6 volt on the voltmeter scale).
2. When using the DC power supply (PS150-12), proceed as follows:
a. Disconnect the high voltage lead (red/white) from the power supply terminal strip (terminal I).
b. Connect a DC milliammeter (0-300 MA) between the lead and the high voltage terminal on the power supply.
c. Follow the procedure outlined in the preceding paragraph (step b) and set the BIAS ADJ. control (R308) on the power supply for 60 milliamperes.

8-4. S-METER ZERO ADJUSTMENT.
Periodically the meter should be zero set to maintain accuracy. To accomplish this proceed as follows:
1. Set the OPERATION control at REC ONLY, and the RF GAIN control fully counterclockwise. Allow about 15 minutes for the equipment to stabilize.
2. Turn the METER ZERO ADJ. control (R76) until the meter pointer is directly over the end calibration mark at the left end of the meter scale. The control is located on the rear chassis apron.

8-5. CARRIER BALANCE.

Adjust the carrier balance as follows:

1. The equipment should be allowed to

reach operating temperature before

making the carrier balance adjustments.

Remove the chassis unit from the cabinet

as described in paragraph 7-1. With the

chassis re~ting

on the table, right side

up, and connected to a dummy load or

antenna load, tune the unit for SSB

operation.

2. Turn the MIC GAIN control fully counterclockwise to remove all audio from the modulator stage. With the OPERATION control set at SSB, close the microphone switch and adjust the CARRIER BAL controls (capacitor C51 and potentiometer R45) for minimum S-meter reading. With an antenna or dummy load connected to the Model SR-160 the meter will drop to zero near the null. Release the microphone switch.
3. Disconnect the antenna load and again close the microphone switch and repeat the balance adjustment. The meter will still drop to zero but will be more sensitive with the load removed. Take care not to feed excessive carrier through the system with the load removed.
8-6. CRYSTAL CALI BRA TOR ADJUSTMENTS.
If a 100-KC crystal unit and the 12AU6 tube (V7) have been installed in the Model SR-160, the following adjustments apply:
The crystal calibrator trimmer (C45) is used to set the 100-KC crystal exactly to frequency by comparing its harmonic frequency with the signal transmitted by station WWV.
With a general coverage receiver, tune in station WWV and connect a lead between the Model SR-160 REC ONLY antenna connector and the antenna connector of the external receiver. Set the OPERATION control at CAL and carefully adjust the calibrator trimmer (C45) until the 100-KC oscillator harmonic is at zero beat with station WWV. This adjustment should be made only during periods of NO modulation on station WvvV’s signal.
8-7. FINAL AMPLIFIER NEUTRALIZATION.
1. Neutralization Check
Connect a voltmeter to the AC supply or a milliammeter to the DC supply to meter the final amplifier plate current as described in paragraph B-3. With the Model SR-160 inits cabinet (all hardware in place) and connected to adummyload, tune the unit at14,150 KC in the CW mode as described in paragraph 5-4. Adjust the CARRIER control for 50 volts RMS output (apprOximately S-9 on the S-meter if an RF voltmeter is not available). Carefully tune the FINAL TUNE control through resonance and observe the plate current dip and output voltage maximum. If both occur at the same setting, the amplifier is neutralized.

The neutralizing circuits may be checked on 80M and 40M by switching bands and tuning at the same VFO dial setting.
2. Neutralizing the Model SR-160
If the check outlined above indicates a need for neutralization, remove the unit from the cabinet. (Refer to paragraph 7-1.) Use the setup as for the neutralizing check and tune the unit at 14,050 KC. Adjust neutralizing capacitor CllO in 1/2 turn or 1/4 turn steps until neutralization is accomplished. Recheck at 14,150 KC with the unit mounted in the cabinet as described above.
HIGH VOLTAGE APPEARS ON THE ADJUSTMENT SCREW OF THE NEUTRALIZING CAPACITOR AT ALL SETTINGS OF THE OPERATION CONTROL EXCEPT OFF.
8-8. VFO MECHANICAL INDEX.
If the pointer position has been disturbed, check the pointer alignment as follows:
1. Loosen the dial stop lock nut and backoff the dial stop screw. (See figure 12.)
2. Carefully turn the dial beyond 3500 KC until the VFO tuning capacitor rotor stop contacts the stator plates. Exercise care in this operation as the gear train provides enough mechanical advantage to lift the rotor plates out of their mounting.
3. The pointer should line up with the index mark on the dial located to the right of the 3500 KC dial calibration. Shift the pointer position or, if necessary, center the pointer in the window opening and loosen the capacitor drive gear irom the capacitor shaft and relocate as required. Retighten the set screws.
4. Turn the dial clockwise beyond the dial stop and reset and relock the dial stop screw. Check for clearance between the dial and the screw end. It should be approximately equal to one-half the dial stop spacer thickness.
8-9. VFO CALIBRATION ALIGNMENT (Trimmer
adjustment only).
A trimmer capacity correction is indicated if the dial calibration check across the dial, at the 100-KC check points, conSistently falls to one side of the pointer and cannot be corrected by the DIAL CAL control range.

Recalibrate the VFO as follows ifthe 100-KC marker crystal has been set up as outlined in paragraph 8-6.
1. Set the BAND SELECTOR at 80M, the OPERATION control at CAL and the RIT control at OFF.
2. Center the DIAL CAL control. The dot on the knob should fall at top dead center.
3. Set the dial at exactly 4000 KC and carefully adjust trimmer C127 for zero beat. Care should be exercised to make sure that the correct 100-KC beat is tuned in with the trimmer.
4. Check across the dial at the 100-KC check points. If the frequency error is less than approximately 3000 CPS, the calibration is within acceptable limits. If the error increases and exceeds 3000 CPS at the low frequency end of the dial, the VFO will require a coil adjustment in addition to the trimmer adjustment.
NOTE
If the Model SR-160 calibrator circuitry is not set up for the calibration check, the VFO signal may be picked up with a general coverage receiver tuned to the 8700 KC to 9200 KC VFO tuning range. The receiver used must be equipped with an accurate crystal calibrator.
8-10. VFO CALIBRATION ALIGNMENT (Trimmer
and coil adjustment).
If the check carried out in paragraph 8-9 (step 4) indicates a need for both trimmer and coil adjustment, proceed as follows:
1. Check the pointer alignment at the index mark on the VFO dial as described in paragraph 8-8. Be sure to reset the dial stop.
2. Set the BAND SELECTOR at 80M, the OPERATION control at CAL, and the RIT control at OFF.
3. Center the DIAL CAL control. The dot on the knob should fall at top dead center.
4. Set the dial at 4000 KC and adjust trimmer C127 for zero beat.
5. Set the dial at 3500 KC and adjust coil L18 for zero beat.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until both the 4000-KC and 3500-KC settings are exactly on frequency.
7. Check the calibration across the dial at the 100-KC points. If the frequency error is less than 3000 CPS, the calibration is within acceptable limits. If the error is in excess of 3000 CPS at any ofthe midpoints, with the end limits atzeroerror, the VFO capacitor Cl30 should be “knifed.” This operation should not be attempted by other than qualified personnel, thoroughly familiar with the technique.
NOTE
If the Model SR-160 calibrator circuitry is not set up for the calibration check, the VFO signal may be picked up with a general coverage receiver tuned to the 8700-KC to 9200-KC VFO tuning range. The receiver used must be equipped with an accurate crystal calibrator.
8-11. HETERODYNE MIXER/OSCILLATOR BAND-PASS TRANSFORMER ALIGNMENT.
Before changing the core settings in transformer T8, check the injection voltage between the junction of capacitors C80 and C81 and ground. (Test point A.) The VFO calibration must be within acceptable limits before adjusting this transformer. The following procedure should be used to check and adjust the transformer.
1. Set the OPERATION control at REC ONLY and the BAND SELECTOR at 40M.
2. Connect the VTVM probe to the test point A and ground clip to the chassis.
3. Tune the VFO from 6900 KC to 7400 KC and note the variation in injection voltage. A correctly adjusted transformer will produce equal voltages at 6900 KC and 7400 KCandequal amplitude peaks within the tuning range. The injection level at this test point will run 1. 5 volts RMS to 1.8 volts RMS. SWitching to 80M will produce approximately 2.0 volts RMS from the VFO directly at the test point.
4. To adjust the transformer for equal injection voltages at 6900 KC and 7400 KC, set the VFO dial to the frequency of lowest injection voltage and turn both cores into or out of their respective

coils as required to raise the lower voltage to a new level half way between the two voltages noted. Repeat the process until both dial frequencies produce equal injection voltages.
5. To adjust the transformer for equal peak response voltages within the passband, set the dial to the frequency of lowest peak response voltage and adjust the cores in equal steps to produce a new peak voltage approximately midway between the original voltage levels noted. If one core is turned into its coil, turn the other core an equal distance out of its coil.
6. The adjustments in steps 4 and 5 interact upon each other and require that the steps be repeated. Keep in mind that the passband is shifted in frequency by turning both cores into or out of their coils in apprOximately equal amounts and that the response peaks are equalized by turning one core into its coil and the other out of its coil in approximately equal amounts.
Do not misadjust the cores so that they rest in between the two windings.
8-12. BFO/CARRIER OSCILLATOR TRANSFORMER ALIGNMENT.
With the unit operating in the REC ONLY pOSition of the OPERATION control, connect the probe of the VTVM to test point B, ground clip to chassis. If the voltage measured is approximately 1.0 volt RMS no adjustment is required.
If adjustment is required, set the core of transformer T6 for approximately 90 percent of the peak voltage obtained on the high frequency side of the peak setting of the core, that is, turn the core counterclockwise from the peak output voltage setting.
8-13. BFO/CARRIER OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT.
Transformer T6 should be in proper alignment before setting the carrier oscillator to frequency. The oscillator frequency may be adjusted with warping trimmer C48 to exactly 5200 KC. The carrier oscillator signal may be picked up in a general coverage receiver equipped with a 100-KC calibrator known to be correlated with station WWV. Obtain zero beat between the carrier oscillator signal and the 100-KC calibrator in the receiver. Do not use the BFO in the general coverage receiver.

8-14. ALIGNMENT OF TRANSMITTER MIXER AND DRIVER STAGES.

The final amplifier bias adjustment must be properly set as in paragraph B-3 before extensive operation of the transmitter is attempted. It is assumed that the 5200-KC signal generating stages of the Model SR-160 are functioning properly. Using the internally generated signal of the transmitter, the mixer and driver stages are aligned as follows:

1. Connect a 50-ohm dummy load to the COMMON ANTENNA jack, J5. Set the OPERATION control at CW-TUNE with the CARRIER control set for minimum output.
2. Set the BAND SELECTOR at BOM, the VFO dial at 3500 KC, and the DRIVER TUNE control at approximately 30° clockwise from its CCW stop.
3. Advance the CARRIER control and adjust the FINAL TUNE control for resonance in the 80M panel segment. Maintain an output Signal level of 50 volts RMS across the 50-ohm load or apprOximately S-9 on the output meter as the alignment progresses.
4. Adjust cores of coils L5 and LB for maximum output meter reading.
5. Set the VFO dial at 4000 KC and adjust the DRIVER TUNE and FINAL TUNE controls for maximum output. Note the position of the DRIVER TUNE control. If its settings at 3500 KC and 4000 KC fall an equal distance from the limits of knob rotation the alignment is complete for this band. If not, change the 3500 KC DRIVER TUNE position slightly, repeak cores L5 and LB and again recheck the 4000 KC setting. Repeat the procedure until the tuning range centers within the rotational limits of the control.
The 80M coils are common to the 40M and 20M band circuitry, therefore, they must be in alignment before these last two bands can be aligned. Repeat the above procedure for each band referring to the tuning chart for the appropriate data.

A neutralization check (paragraph B-7) is recommended following alignment of the mixer and driver stages. If a major neutralization adjustment is required, recheck the alignment.
8·15. ALIGNMENT OF RECEIVER ANTENNA STAGE,
The transmitter mixer and driver stages must be in alignment before the receiver antenna stage can be adjusted. The BOM band coil is common to the 40M and 20M band circuitry, therefore the 80M band must be aligned first. The alignment procedure for the antenna stage coils is as follows:
1. Connect the 50-ohm dummy load to the COMMON ANTENNA jack (J5), the RF Signal Generator to the REC ONLY ANTENNA jack (J6), and set the antenna switch at SEPARATE (up). If an AC voltmeter is connected across the speaker circuit, maximum audio output can be monitored visually.
2. Set the OPERATION control at REC ONLY, RF GAIN at maximum, AF GAIN as required.
3. Set the OPERATION control at CW-TUNE and tune the transmitter at 3500 KC (80M band). Adjust the DRIVER TUNE control carefully as outlined in paragraph 5-4.
4. Set the OPERATION switch at REC ONLY and adjust RF signal generator for apprOximately 1000 CPS audio beat note. Use just enough signal generator output to keep from developing AVC voltage at test point C. (ApprOximately 1 microvolt for an aligned unit.) Adjust coil L1 for maximum audio output without developing AVC voltage.
5. Repeat the alignment procedure outlined in steps 3 and 4 for the 40M and 20M bands. On 40M, tune the transmitter at 6900 KC and adjust coil L2. On 20M, tune the transmitter on 13900 KC and adjust coil L3.
8·16. ALIGNMENT OF FIRST IF AMPLIFIER STAGE.
To adjust the core of coil T3 in the plate circuit of the first IF amplifier tube, tune the transmitter at approximately 3800 KC into the dummy load, following the procedure outlined in paragraph 5-4. With the CARRIER control adjusted for a carrier output level of 50 volts RMS (S-9 on the output meter) or less, adjust the core of coil T3 for maximum RF output. Back off the CARRIER control setting if the output level exceeds 50 volts RMS during adjustment.

8-17. ALIGNMENT OF SECOND IF AMPLIFIER AND AVC AMPLIFIER STAGES.
Coil T4 in the plate circuit of the second IF amplifier tube and coil T7 in the plate circuit of the AVC/AALC amplifier tube are adjusted in the receive mode as follows:
1. Connect the RF signal generator to the REC ONLY ANTENNA jack (J6). Connect an AC voltmeter across the speaker circuit.
2. Set the OPERATION switch at REC ONLY, RF GAIN control at maximum, AF GAIN control as required and tune the RF signal generator and receiver to 3800 KC for apprOximately a 1000CPS audio beat note.
3. Use just enough signal generator output to keep from developing AVC voltage at test point C, and adjust the core of coil T4 for maximum audio output.
4. Increase the RF Signal generator output until AVC voltage equal to apprOximately minus one volt appears at test point C and adjust the core of coil T7 for maximum AVC voltage.
8-18. CRYSTAL FILTER ALIGNMENT.
The filter alignment consists of adjusting the impedance matching transformers, T1 and T2 associated with the hermetically sealed crystal filter unit FLl.
1. The filter response should be checked as follows before any termination adjustments are attempted.
a. Tune the transmitter for SSB operation on 3800 KC into a dummy antenna load.
b. Connect the AF Signal generator to the MIC connector and monitor the input voltage with the Ballantine voltmeter. Set the AF signal generator at 1000 CPS and adjust the

generator level for 50 volts RMS RF output with the MIC GAIN control set near maximum gain.
c. Maintain constant AF signal generator input voltage and change the frequency of the generator above and below 1000 CPS, recording the frequency at which the transmitter RF output voltage drops to 35 volts RMS (-3 DB). Also note the maximum and minimum RF voltage excursions between these two frequencies. A normal 3-DB frequency response will run 400 to 600 CPS at the low end, 2700 to 3500 CPS at the high end, and less than 2-DB variation (10 volts RMS change) in the passband.
2. If the check made in step 1 indicates a need for filter termination adjustment proceed as follows:
a. Disconnect the crystal filter unit (FL1) input and output wires at the filter terminals. Connect a 270, OOO-ohm resistor between the wires lifted from the filter terminals.
b. Tune the transmitter for CWoperation on 3800 KC into a dummy antenna load.
c. Set the CARRIER coni.:rol for apprOximately 10 volts RMS RF output at the dummy load, and adjust the cores of transformer T1 and coil T2 for maximum RF output.
d; Remove the reSistor and reconnect the filter. Check the filter response as outlined in step 1. If a major change occurred in the core setting of coil T2, recheck the alignment of the first IF amplifier stage coil T3. (See paragraph 8-16.)

FINAL (12DQ6B) TUBE MATCHING.
If either or both 12DQ6B tubes/ are replaced, tube matching will be required. This may require access to a nUmber of tubes in order to select those with the desired characteristics. Matched pairs of tubes are available through Hallicrafters’ Service Department for customer convenience.
The procedure for tube matching is as follows:
CAUTION
It will be necessary to come into contact with circuits which normally have high voltage applied to them. Use extreme care while performing the following operations.
1. Set the OPERATION switch to OFF.
2. Remove the chassis unit from the cabinet as described in paragraph 7-1.
3. Remove the top cover from the final amplifier cage.
4. Remove one 12DQ6B tube. If both tubes are defective, both tubes should be removed and one new tube installed. The unused plate cap must not touch nearby components.
5. Connect a voltmeter or milliammeter to the power supply tip jacks as described in BIAS ADJUSTMENT, paragraph 8-3.
6. Set the OPERATION switch at REC. ONLY and allow approximately two minutes warmup.
7. Set the CARRIER control fully CCW.
8. Set the OPERATION switch at CW-TUNE.
9. Adjust the BIAS ADJ control for a 0.3-volt (30 MA) reading on the voltmeter.
10. Return the OPERATION switch to OFF.
11. Short the 12DQ6B plate cap to the chassis and remove the tube from its socket.
12. Insert a new 12DQ6B tube into the same socket and connect the plate cap.
13. Place the OPERATION switch in REC. ONLY and allow approximately two minutes for warmup.
14. Place the OPERATION switch at CW-TUNE and observe the voltmeter reading. (Do not change the bias setting.)
15. If this tube causes the voltmeter to read between 0.2 volt (20 MA) and 0.4 volt (40 MA), it can be considered as being matched to the original tube. If the difference in reading exceeds 0.1 volt (10 MA), other tubes must be checked until the difference reading of the pair to be matched is less than 0.1 volt (10 MA).
16. Install the matched pair of tubes and set the bias as described in BIAS ADJUSTMENT, paragraph 8-3.
17. The final amplifier may require neutralization after the new tubes are installed. Refer to paragraph 8-7 for the neutralization check and adjustment procedure.
