Dear Stuart,
Can you spare me a copy of the manual for the basic Racal Syncal
931 model.I recently got one and am awaiting a manual before putting
it to use.
VU2MVX,VENU
Most of what you want for the 931 is in the FILES section.
The 931 manual is pretty hefty . Somewhere I saw one advertized on a
CD.

Thanks for that: can't answer your question about Bowman hf kit, as have'nt had much to do with that, although I know that it's working very well on Op Herrick: some of the Siemens compatable HF kit tunes in normally without the 2kHz offset if you use them in clear to talk to civvy purchased Yaseu HF amateur stuff on ssb.
Off the top of my head, I think most things Bowman are restricted or above, especially the data side of things. My involvement is through the Bde training teams being set up, to roll the stuff out as it becomes available..
I was in 2 Para way back, D Coy and C Coy, 72 to 75, back in the days of A16's and A41's and A43's, then other things until transfer to TA in 92, did a couple of tours of Bosnia in the mid 90's, and have studiously avoided bringing peace and democracy to any other countries since!
Just having a fiddle with a new BC66 and amp, which I will probably use as the main rig now, in preference to the 353, which has far too many moving parts whizzing around inside it every time you QSY

I did not ask if you hold an amateur radio licence?

I would be very interested to hear about Bowman, specifically are the frequencies designated in the Clansman way, ie 2Khz above.

Does it have ALE and is it being used?

What isn't secret or restricted even, would be very interesting

When were you in 2 Para (Signal platoon?)

First posting from me, thought I would log on and say "hello" to the rest of the group! Have had involvement with Racal kit over the last 30 years or so, in various capacities, as well as the other offerings from Plessey and Marconi. Main stuff I have on the go at present is a TRA 967, and Clansman stuff including PRC 320's (in various stages of completeness and working ability) and 350's and a later version PTR 1851 with applique. In the past have lugged Syncal and Comcal kit around various inhospitable parts of the globe, with varying degrees of success, and more recently have started to see what the Jaguar series has got to offer, hence coming across this forum when after info on the BCC 66 range.
Have recently moved to N Essex, and not yet got any aerials rigged to transmit with (6m and 4m), but hope to be radiating soon.
All from me,

Re: National Security!!

Belton, Alan
 

Stuart
Thanks for that: my applique for the 1851 would do a turn as a toasted sandwich maker, as the bias supply to the PA and driver has gone up to 6v, turning them both fully on, and giving about 5a quiescient current. Transistors are OK, so will have to get amongst it and sort it out at some point. Do you know of any sources of battery packs (dud or otherwise) for the 1851, as my 1851 came with the applique, where it had been glued in place for years with all sorts of mud and gunge!
Have'nt been on air from this location yet, so playing catch up with new fangled licences and everything else that has crept in over the last 9 years I have been off the air.

Hi Barrie - you may be in luck here !
Originally these came out througha guy called Tony Sinclair who had hundreds of them in his warehouse in Royston, Herts.
Tony sold the lot on to somebody about ten years ago,?(I don't know who).
I kept one of the original Manuals and it may be that I still have it somewhere.
Give me a call on Tuesday morning?(07739-264460 or 01462-434596)?and I'll try to find it for you.
From memory, these were used during the 70's and early 80's?in our Embassies around the world for covert transmissions back to the UK or elsewhere.
Kindest regards,
Julian Barnard.

Subject: [The WS No.19 Group] This weekend you are welcome


Gatwick Radio/Military Vehicle Weekend

Club call M0VOG may be in use

15-17th September 2006

On-Air Activity Schedule - You are welcome to come or join in !
(email me direct if you want location info)


VHF Ops


The following frequencies will be kept open during daylight hours (or beyond) to facilitate on-site communications and, more importantly, to facilitate talk-in of approaching mobile units, especially on Friday afternoon/evening and Saturday morning.



51.700MHz

70.375MHz



Mode will be FM, preferably narrow-band (to 25kHz channel-spacing)



HF Ops


Participants are welcome to arrive from early afternoon on the Friday, so it is hoped that stations on site will call into the VMARS SSB net, starting at 1930A (local) on 3.615MHz LSB



Likewise, on Saturday, we encourage participation in the AM net, starting at 0830A on 3.615MHz



On Sunday, those so inclined may wish to participate in the CW net at 0900A on 3.577MHz. Net controller is Alan, G4GEN



At all other times, activity, particularly AM is encouraged on 3.615MHz and/ or 7.143MHz



For licensees with the 5MHz NoV, we encourage SSB activity throughout the weekend on 5.4035MHz USB. Please keep a record of such contacts and be prepared to us SINPO reporting.



There are also plans to experiment with A3H mode on 5.3665MHz or 5.3715MHz as a back up. This will involve transmitting telephony with full carrier on this frequency with accompanying upper sideband only, within a 3kHz bandwidth. Please note that normal A3E AM is not permitted, due to excessive bandwidth. Those transmitting using A3H are advised to make frequent on-air announcements, to the effect that the transmission is A3H; single sideband, full carrier for experimental and test purposes.



On site, participants are recommended to use their own callsign/P or M0VOG, by arrangement with Mike Buckley.



RSARS frequencies in use over the weekend are:



Saturday 06.00Z 14.143USB general natter net controller VK4BFO

Sunday 10.00Z 3.565 CW Net

Does anyone have any schematic diagrams for the BCC66H Jaguar radio?
I am trying to get rid of the 150hz tone on tx, in the alignment

Speaking to non-military radio's is a no-no with the tone present at

Thanks for your reply concerning the 929.? It does use the 6-pin connector.? I have the TRA931 manual but am always looking for the?specific documentation.? I am currently using the receiver with a 600 ohm transformer and small amplified speaker from Radio Shack and find it works very well.
?
Batteries for the TRA931 and RA929 seem to be hard to come by, at least here in the US....
?
Many thanks,

RA929

 



Gents:

I have a very nice RA929 receiver but have been able to find very little information on this radio. Currently, I have need of a rebuildable MA934 battery and a manual copy for a MA945S battery charger.

Also, was there a speaker intended for use with the RA929?

Thanks,
Brian, K7AIS
Brian,
I have never seen a 929, but if it has the "standard" Racal 6 or 7 pin audio connector, then the little MA988 speaker / amplifier should work; it works with the other equipment of that period, like the TRA931 and 967. The AC and DC power supplies have built in audio amps, some also have built in speakers. Also the useful MA984 control box has an audio amplifier in it; these can be cheap (mine was 5) since it's not obvious what they are...

I always assumed that the 929 was pretty much the receive part of the TRA931. Manuals for that are easy enough to find.

Hi Tony.
?
Yes, the receiver works on both noise & tone squelch, so it works with normal radios fine.? Tunes in 25kHz steps only.?
Sorry, I have no handbooks for it !

Cheers, Chris.

Hi Chris

Thanks for the reply, I have printed it off to take when I go and see
the guy with the radio next week.
My intention is to use it primarily on 4m as there are quite a few
people on 70mhz locally.
I take it that the radio will only program in 25khz steps, i.e.
70.400,70.425,70.450 etc.
Our local 6m repeater uses 50.790, so it may be no good for this.
Do you know if the receiver will unmute without the 150hz tone being
present? some mil radio's will not unmute, so obviously talking to
people who don't have a mil set is a no-go.
Cheers for the information, hopefully I will buy the set, assuming it
works!!, if anyone has a service manual kicking around, I would
appreciate a copy just in case.

best regards
Tony

Hi Tony.

I own a couple of Racal PRM 4720 VHF sets which are very similar
to the Caracal, minus the hopping.

Easy to program. On the Volume control knob, there are two
positions, PR & PTR.
These are to program the Receive & Transmit freqs. You can
program split frequencies for each channel if you like. First, select
PR and select the channel you wish to program. Press the PTT button
(momentarily), and the LCD display should clear. Enter the first digit

I have used my PRM 4720 radios many times on the 6m band with
success.
After I turned down the 150Hz Tx tone deviation to minimum, I can
access the 6m repeaters here very well. The radio is well suited for
repeater working.
The tone adjustment involves opening the radio & adjusting a pot.
But try it on your local 6m repeaters over there first before
doing this. Perhaps the Australian repeaters act differently to yours.

Cheers, Chris.
