Hello, does anyone have a circuit or any information on the power module of the PRC350 please? It's module 16. Mine tries to start, but stops drawing any current. I have a block diagram, but nothing else. Thank you Andy G7BAV

Audio amp for 6217A receiver
3
I would like to replace the 10 mW headphone amp in my 6217A receiver with an amp capable of driving a speaker (maybe something like an LM380). Problem is that the 6217A is designed to use positive ground, and the LM380¡¯s architecture is based on a negative ground circuit. It can¡¯t be as simple as grounding pin 14 of the LM380 and supplying -18v to pin 7, or maybe it is that simple. I¡¯m not interested in the 1mV line - can I just leave it disconnected? Has anyone done this before? I¡¯m trying to avoid using an external amp to drive a speaker. Thanks! Mike, WB0LDJ mharmon at att dot net

Yeoman tra9300

Good day to all, I'm placing a request on here with the hope of picking up some spares for a tra9300 vhf set. I'm looking for a vehicle rack module and leads, but most importantly, I'm looking for a good power supply board as the one I own has a fault with power regulation. Many thanks, martin 2E0HV

TRA931X Switching & Fixed Level Audio Amplifier Board
Hi guys, I'm bringing a TRA-931 back from the dead. On my RF board sits a piggyback board which I presume is the Switching & Fixed Level Audio Amplifier Board. This is though, very different to the one shown in the manual. Nothing matches, pin numbers, semiconductor count, semiconductor type etc etc. Mine is marked CD713250, yet the one in the service manual is CD713163. Is there a schematic for the type of board I have?

6790/GM firmware for the Z80 version A6A2 ?

Does anyone have .BIN file for the 1600305 that they can share? This has the slightly better tuning rates than the 304 version I have. I have become so used to the 1/10/100 Hz tuning rates that going back to the original military specified ones is painful. 73 - Dan ac6ao / g3ncr

TRA-906 Squadcall
I have what I think is a 906 Squadcall. However, the circuit board layout is not the same, and the two power transistors attached to the side of the chassis are not there. There is not provision to fit these. Can anyone identify this radio please, or did Racal change the design part way into production. Thank you Andy

Racal manpack models list
21
Hi, All, I'm working towards a database of the Racal equipment which interests us, beginning with the manpacks (including green handhelds and "squad" radios) themselves, and eventually including all the contemporary green equipment too. I'd begun this during the last few days, but thanks to member Alan, I now have a bigger list of manpacks which includes non-Racal models too. Eventually, I'll add a file of non-Racal manpacks, since most of us will be likley to be interested in these too. The following is the complete list of Racal (including BCC) models known to me. Before I finish adding a brief description and spec for each model, is anyone aware of any models which I haven't currently included? A13 A14HP A14LP A16 (aka PRC-316) BCC32V (aka SSB32) BCC39 BCC39C BCC66 "Jaguar-V" BCC70 "Jaguar-U" Caracal (PRM-4740A) Jaguar-U Jaguar-V MA4040A PRM4021 PRM4031 PRM4041 PRM4051 "Squadcal 2" PRM4090 PRM4515 PRM4700A PRM4720A PRM4735 PRM4740A "Caracal" RA929G TRA906 "Squadcal" TRA921 "Syncal" TRA929 "Minical" TRA931 "Syncal 30" TRA931A "Syncal 30" TRA931AP "Syncal 30" TRA931L "Syncal 30" TRA931P "Syncal 30" TRA931P "Syncal 30" TRA931PL "Syncal 30" TRA931PR "Syncal 30" TRA931X "Syncal 30" TRA931XH "Syncal 30" TRA931Y TRA967 UK/PRC344 UK/PRC349 UK/PRC350 UK/PRC351 UK/PRC352 best regards, Bob

Seeking battery information/source
15
Evening all, I'm after some information about a battery for the PRM4720/4515. I have a charged battery (which soon won't be!) that I'm hoping to re-cell with three Lithium 18650 batteries and associated BMS. The battery that I have appears to be larger than typical batteries for this series of radios, in that its case is approximately 75mm high, hence why I think I can fit the 18650's in it. So, two questions: 1) Can anybody tell me the correct part number for this larger battery pack? 2) Does anybody know of a source of this battery type (dead or alive)? Unfortunately, the pack is devoid of any markings apart from a Red Racal label with a stick-on serial number label. Any help appreciated. Keith

So very Sorry to hear this, Stuart. Do you remember the serial number of the radio and the VIU? I know they are easily removable, but may help more if known by everybody who moves in these circles. 73, Warren
