The 99'er transceiver is designed to tune only the first two megacycles of the six meter band as there is virtually no occupancy above 52 mc. The receiver is designed to operate directly from any 115V AC 60 cycle outlet or from a 12 or 6 volt battery through the use of 12 volts inverters having a rate of 75 watts or more. A less expensive 50 watt inverter may be used by drawing heater current directly from the battery.

INITIAL INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Wis recommended that the 99'er be operated initially with normal 115 Vol,

system of known performance, with @ standing wave ratio of less than 2 to 1. _ va

MOBILE OPERATION
Figs. 1A & 1B
Two different methods of battery operation are pos-
sible with the 99'er. The unit may be completely
powered with either @ 12 o 6 Volt inverter* of greater
than 73 watts capacity or the filaments may be pow-
ered directly from the battery while plate voltage can
bbe obrained through a less expensive fitty walt inver-
ter. The 90 watt system is recommended for its sim=
plicty and easy of portobility. To use 50 watt inverters,
either on 12 or 6 volts DC, separate power cables (not
provided) must be prepared. Connections ore diagrammed

Through the 11 prong male power socket ot the
rear of the chassis it is posi
to, 13) connect an
‘external speaker, 2.) obtain voltage to contral an external
YrO and 3.) 10 monitor your own wansmissions by
eorphones. To utilize any or all of these circuits special
power cables (not provided) must be prepared. It no
external speaker is used but you with to monitor your
signol o jumper between pins 9 and 10 indicated by
dotted lines Fig.1C) should be added. When this jumper is
removed the speaker in the 9¥'er 1 disabled, Connections
