New Syncal Owner


 

Brought home an early Syncal with charger and looks like two speakers (I assume one is the microphone although they do look alike)
This one only covers through 7 MHZ.
Looking for a manual, what DC Voltage the battery pack provides to the set etc...I don't see a model number on it yet other that the Syncal

The one I have is a Syncal but I haven't found another like it. I also haven't found this model in the files section. Maybe I can post a picture in the files section

I think it's a TRA-921. It runs off 18v, Some battery boxes used 3x 6v lantern batteries. There is a manual in our files.
You very lucky to have the speakers!

Marty

Looks like the TRA 906 Squadcal, but cannot see the front face of radio, that would have been better ??

If it's what i think it is then 18volts

Maybe wrong ?

The 906 & the 921 were similar radios, and may have used the same accessories & battery box. But the Squadcal was xtal control, the Syncal is synthesized.

Hello Marty,

Looking at the picture, the radio you have is a TRA-921 (Syncal).

You can find the technical manual here (in three parts : TRA921_tech_1of3, TRA921_tech_2of3, TRA921_tech_3of3) :



Nice little radio...

One design flaw in my opinion : the +V Bat available on the audio sockets is not controlled by the ON/OFF switch of the radio set.
As the loudspeaker has an internal audio amplifier, if you leave it connected to the radio it will draw your batteries flat in a few days...

Best regards / 73

Bruno and others,

Thank You for the help.

I uploaded a picture of the unit with some accessories. One speaker works with the unit although audio output is very low. The other speaker/Microphone?? causes my current controlled Power Supply to fault. I will upload more pictures and perhaps someone can say what that device is intended for. It looks like perhaps a speaker and Microphone combination.
The radio does seem to work somewhat as I can hear noise in the speaker that changes with the antenna connected and when placed in the tune mode I can hear a tone in another receiver.
