Heathkit Mobile Transmitter HX-20 HX20

Description


The HEATHK1T Model HX-20 Mobile Single sideband Transmitter is designed principally for mobile single sideband operation and is a companion unit for the Model HR-20 Mobile Receiver.

It adapts equally well to fixed station operation, either as a transmitter or as an exciter for a high-power linear amplifier such as the HEATHKIT Model HA-10. 

Power levels up to 50 watts output are obtained on all bands, 80 through 10 meters. Heterodyne conversion circuitry and a temperature compensated VFO are employed for maximum frequency stability. The 80, 40, 20, 15 meter bands and 1.5 mc of the 10 meter band are covered in seven 500 kc segments.

A VFO tuning knob with a 22 to 1 gear ratio and a slide-rule scale are used for tuning convenience and excellent “resetability.” Spring loading holds backlash to a minimum.

Fixed 50 to 75 ohm loading is employed using a pi network output to suppress harmonic radiation.

Rear panel connectors are provided for : -
RF output to the antenna; 
receiver connections to the antenna; 
receiver muting; 
external relay connections; 
CW keying jack; 
external cut off bias.

Thirteen tubes are used in the Transmitter, including two voltage regulator tubes; one for VFO voltage regulation and one for bias voltage regulation for the final amplifier.
Germanium diodes are used for the ALC circuit and the balanced modulator circuit. Silicon diodes are used for the VOX and anti-trip circuits.
