L59 Walkie-Talkie
The receiver is a double superhet with a single crystal-controlled oscillator serving for both mixers. It has one RF amplifier and three IF stages at 1.6 Mc / s. The first IF has no separate amplification. The detector, AGC, and noise limiter are all germanium crystals. There is one AF amplifier.
Four valves are used in the transmitter, which is also crystal controlled. Of these two are RF stages and two modulators, the amplitude system being employed.
This set gives an RF output of not less than 250 milliwatts over the working range of frequencies, 75 to 100 Mc/s.
The chassis is also used in the L45 Backpack.
