INTRODUCTION

The

Hammarlund

HQ-110A

is

an

all-new

amateur

communications

receiver

representing

entirely

new

concepts

in

electrical

and

mechanical

design.

It

will

provide

years

of

top

performance

with

minimum

maintenance.

The

HQ-110A

has

a

self-contained

power

supply

operating

from

a

60

cps,

105-125

volt

AC

source.

Power

consumption

is

80

watts.

The

Hammarlund

HQ-110AC

incorporates

a

telechron

automatic

electric

clock-timer

in

its

design.

The

ex-

port

model,

HQ-llOAE,

now

available,

will

operate

from

a

50

or

60

cps,

115-230

volt

AC

source,

5ee

Fig-

ure

13

for

Wiring

Instructions.

The

HQ-110A

is

a

superheterodyne

receiver

with

a

frequency

coverage

of

the

amateur

bands

as

follows:

160

meter

band,

1.8

to

2.0

mc,

calibrated

in

5

KC

divisions.

30

meter

band,

3.5

to

4.0

mc,

5

KC

divisions.

40

band

7.0

to

7.3

mc,

calibrated

in

5

divisions

20

meter

band,

14.0

to

14.4

mc,

calibrated

in

5

KC

divisions

IS

meter

band,

21.0

to

21.6

mc,

calibrated

in

10

KC

divisions.

10

meter

band,

23.0

to

30.0

mc,

calibrated

in

20

KC

divisions.

6

meter

band,

50.0

to

54.0

mc,

calibrated

in

50

KC

divisions.

A 2

Meter

scale

is

provided

for

use

with

a

converter

which

has

an

output

in

the

6

meter

band.

Double

conversion

is

employed

for

the

40, 20,

IS,

10

and

6

meter

bands.

A

single

control

provides

extremely

fine

tuning

for

the

separation

of

crowded

signals.

A

very

high

sig-

nal-to-noise

ratio,

plus

the

famous

Hammarlund

noise

limiter

circuit,

permits

full

use

of

the

receiv-

er's

excellent

sensitivity

on

the

weakest

signal.

A

Q-Multiplier

is

provided

for

varying

the

selectivity

of

the

receiver.

A

new

audio

output

circuit

feature

is

the

Auto-Re-

sponse,

which

automatically

narrows

and

widens

the

frequency

range

of

the

audio

output,

according

to

the

gain

required.

This

feature

permits

higher

fidel·

ity

reception

on

stronger

signals,

while

providing

the

sharp

cutoff

required

in

receiving

communica-

tions

under

adverse

conditions.

A

second

advantage

of

the

Hammarlund

Auto-Response

is

the

rapid

damping

of

the

audio

power

in

the

speaker

voice

coil

which

greatly

minimizes

undesirable

speaker

"hangover."

The

receiver

may

be

used

with

either

speaker

or

headphones.

Fast

acting

A

VC

maintains

a

constant

audio

level.

Adequate

filtering

practically

eliminates

AC

power

ripple.

The

HQ-110A

is

equipped

with

a

stable

beat

fre-

quency

oscillator

which

provides

the

operator

with

a

continuous

range

of

audio

tones

when

receiving

telegraphic

code

signals.

When

used

in

conjunction

with

the

Q-Multiplier,

single

signal

reception

is

assured.

A 100

KC

crystal-controlled

oscillator

is

incorpor-

ated

to

provide

100

KC

check

points

for

precise

cali-

bration

on

all

seven

bands.

A

linear

detector

is

provided

for

the

optimum

re-

ception

of

55B

and

CW

signals.

An

"5"

.meter

is

provided

to

obtain

accurate

read-

ings

on

received

phone

signals

and

to

assure

"on-

the-nose"

tuning.

A

send-receive

switch

is

provided

to

silence

the

receiver

while

transmitting.

Large,

comfortable

controls

in

logical

groupings

are

provided

for

greatest

operating

ease.

The

new

futur-

istic

front

panel

is

clearly

marked

to

permit

full

at-

tention

to

the

operation

at

hand.

The

HQ-110A

was

designed

with

you

in

mind.

Y

ou'II

have

many

hours

of

pleasure

and

use

in

operating

this

truly

fine

communications

instrument.

INSTALLING ANTENNA

-

The

HQ-IIOA

is

designed

to

operate

with

a

single

wire

or

a

balanced

type

antenna.

The

front

panel

antenna

trimmer

control

(Figure

5)

permits

a

good

match

to

most

antennae

systems

of

50

to

600

ohms.

For

general

coverage,

single

wire

antennae

of

20

to

50

feet

length

will

provide

surprisingly

good

recep-

tion.

A

long

single

wire

outdoor

antenna,

such

as

the

one

shown

in

figure

2,

will

generally

provide

entirely

satisfactory

performance.

This

wire

may

be

50

to

150

feet

long.

For

best

reception,

the

antenna

should

be

isolated

as

much

as

possible

from

neighboring

objects

and

at

right

angles

to

power

lines

or

busy

highways

so as

to

minimize

possible

interference

pickup.

Optimum

performance

on

a

particular

amateur

band

or

other

narrow

tuning

range

will

be

obtained

by

using

a

tuned

half-wave

dipole

or

folded

dipole

fed

with

300

ohm

transmission

line

or

other

suitable

lead-in,

as

shown

in

figure

3.

To

tune

the

one-half

wave

length

dipole,

the

follow-

ing

formula

for

the

length

of

the

antenna

may

be

used:

468

Length

(feet)

Freq.

MCS

Each

half

(

1/4

wave

length)

is

half

the

length

found

from

the

above

formula.

A

one-half

wave

dipole

can

be

used

on

6

meters

but

a

commercial

beam

will

perform

better.

A

separate

coax

socket

input

is

provided

for

6

meters.

The

terminal

strip

may

also

be

used

as a

separate

6

meter

input.

In

either

case

the

jumper

must

be

removed

from

across

the

6

meter

antenna

terminal

strip.

If

the

jumper

is

left

in

place

and

only

a

low

frequency

antenna

connected

to

the

normal

input

terminals

this antenna

will

be

in

the

circuit

on

the

6

meter

position.

A

socket

J3

is

provided

on

the

rear

skirt

for

power-

ing

a

preamplifier

such

as

the

Ameco

model

#PV

50

meter

preamplifier.

Refer

to

the

schematic

dia-

gram

for

wiring

information.

Where

a 6

meter

pre-

amplifier

is

used

the

input

should

be

to

the

6

meter

antenna

connector

or

strip

with

the

link

open.

***

A

feature

of

is

the

Maximum

feed-

is

provided

at

low

of

the

AUDIO

for

the

best

quality

reception

of

strong

This

results

in

is

the

the

CAL

position,

an

increase

in

level

will

be

noticed.

This

is

done

deliberately

to

provide

additional

gain

for

the

higher-order

harmonics

of

the

100

KCS

crystal

calibrator,

regardless

of

whether

the

receiver

is

in

MAN

or

A

VC

position.

Note

As

only

the

amateur

bands

are

covered

by

this

receiver

it

is

not

possible

to

compare

the

100

KCS

freq.

calibrator

against

WWV.

The

100

KCS

crystal-controlled

oscillator

has

been

accurately

set

at

the

factory.

This,

plus

the

fact

that

a

very

low

drift

.005%

crystal

is

employed,

will

insure

sufficient

accuracy

for

all

practical

purposes.

For

those

who

desire

frequency

ac-

curacy

of

the

crystal

calibrator

in

the

order

of

cycles,

the

procedure

outlined

on

Page

should

be

employed.

EXTERNAL

RELAY

CONNECTION

A

standard

power

receptable

is

provided

on

the

rear

apron

of

the

chassis

for

the

connection

of

an

ex-

ternal

relay-operated

switch.

This

receptacle

accom-

modates

a

standard

power

plug

and

when

so

used

the

SEND

position

of

the

FUNCTION

SWITCH

is

not

used.

A

jump~r

plug,

provided

for

normal

without

relay

switching,

is

removed

from

the

recep-

tacle

when

using

the

relay

switching.

The

usual

antenna

change-over

relay

equipped

with

a

set

of

normally

closed

contacts

is

suggested.

The

choice

of

this

relay

will

depend

on

the

particular

antenna

system

involved,

such

as

whether

a co-ax

relay

or

one

for

open

wire

line

is

employed.

In

either

case

the

extra

set

of

contacts

to

control

the

receiver

will

be

necessary.

TELECHRON

AUTOMATIC

CLOCK-TIMER

If

your

receiver

is

equipped

with

the

built-in

Tele-

chron

Automatic

Clock-Timer,

the

following

in-

structions

should

be

noted:

Every

radio-frequency

device

is

stable

only

at

pre-

determined

operating

temperatures.

In

order

to

eliminate

waiting

for

the

receiver

to

warmup

to

operating

temperature,

the

Telechron

Timer

auto-

matically

turns

on

the

receiver

ahead

of

anticipated

operating

time.

This

is

accomplished

by

setting

CIRCUIT THEORY

The

HQ-110A is a

superheterodyne

receiver

cover-

ing

the

6, 10, 15, 20, 40,

80.and

160

meter

amateur

frequency

bands.

Double

conversion

is

employed

in

the

6

through

40

meter

bands.

Twelve

tubes

are

used,

including

the

Rectifier

and

Voltage

Regulator

of

the

self-contained

power

supply.

The

circuitry

of

the

receiver

includes

a 100

KCS

crystal

calibrator,

a

Q-Multiplier

for

full

control

of

selectivity,

an

effec-

tive

noise

limiter

and

a

separate

highly

stable

Beat

Frequency

Oscillator.

PRESELECTION

The

antenna

input

coupling

and

RF

amplifier

stage

provide

the

necessary

preselection

and

gain

for

high

performance

and

rejection

of

undesired

signals.

The

high

signal

level

at

the

mixer

grid,

V2,

contributes

to

a

favorable

signal-to-noise

ratio.

Both

grid

and

plate

circuits

of

the

RF

stage

are

tuned;

individual

tuning

coils

are

selected

for

each

band.

The

antenna

compensating

capacitor,

adjustable

from

the

front

panel,

permits

the

receiver

to

be

resonated

for

optimum

performance

with

the

par-

ticular

antenna

in

use.

CONVERTER

STAGE

A

high

degree

of

oscillator

stability

is

attained

by

the

use

of

a

separate

mixer

(6BE6),

V2,

and

an

in-

dependent

oscillator

(6C4),

VI0.

The

output

signal

from

RF

amplifier,

VI,

is

hetero-

dyned

with

the

output

of

the

local

high

frequency

oscillator,

VlO,

and

electronically

combined

within

the

mixer

tube,

V2.

On

the

80

and

160

meter

bands,

the

local

oscillator

is 455

KCS

above

the

signal

frequency.

On

the

10

to

40

meter

bands,

the

local

HF

Oscillator

is 3035

KCS

above

the

signal

fre-

quency.

On

the

6'meter

band,

the

local

HF

Oscilla-

tor

is 3035

KCS

below

the

signal

frequency.

When

operating

in

the

6

to

40

meter

bands,

the

dif-

ference

frequency

of

3035

KCS

is

heterodyned

with

the

output

of

the

2580

KCS

crystal

controlled

oscil-

lator

and

electronically

combined

within

the

con-

verter

tube,

V3,

to

produce

the

455

KCS

final

inter-

mediate

frequency.

Low-loss

tube

sockets,

low-loss

phenolic,

temperature

compensating

capacitors,

and

stable,

coaxial

glass

trimmer

all

contribute

to

oscillator

stability.

Addi-

tional

frequency

stability

is

attained

by

applying

regulated

voltage

to

the

oscillator

circuit

and

by

the

rugged

construction

of

the

entire

HF

oscillator

sec-

tion

assembly.

Q·MULTIPLIER

The

Q-Multiplier

circuit

employed

in

this

receiver

provides

a

means

of

peaking

any

signal

within

the

pass

band

of

the

IF

amplifier.

The

degree

of

peak-

ing

is

controlled

by

the

SELECTIVITY

control.

The

bandwidth

varies

from

3

KCS

with

the

SELECTIV.

ITY

control

switch

just

to
