  • Notes

  •  The Plessey PR152 HF communications receiver is a compact all-transistor double superheterodyne receiver for the reception of AM, MCW or CW signals in the frequency ranges 550 - 1,500Hz and 1.65 - 30.0MHz. With a six frequency band film-scale tuning system. A frequency setting accuracy of better than 0.1% is made possible by the use of a tunnel diode crystal calibrator and adjustable cursor. The receiver is a self-contained unit, finished in light grey, and includes a loudspeaker mounted in the side of the case. The only external connexion required is to an aerial.
    The equipment is powered by an internal dry battery having a normal life of up to 50 hours. Provision for testing the battery is incorporated. For continuous operation, a mains power unit can be supplied to operate on an input supply of 100 to 125V or 200 to 250V AC (40 to 60Hz), to replace the internal battery container. Alternatively, an external battery may be connected via a socket at the rear of the cabinet.
