SECTION I
DESCRIPTION
1 . GENERAL.
a. Radio Set SCR-585-B is a dual purpose radio
receiver and transmitter, designed for two-way con
versation over distances up to one mile. Descrip
tively, it is a portable radio telephone, receiving and
transmitting on the same frequency.
b. For use in a glider it is placed on a Mounting
FT -295-B, installation to be made as specifed for the
particular type of glider used. Radio Receiver and
Transmitter BC-721-B when installed on Mounting
-295-B is remotely controlled by "PULL- TO
TALK" Control Shaft MC-355 or MC-365-B, and
Radio Control Box BC-722-B.
c. For operation in the glider, headphones and a
throat microphone are used. Both pilot and co-pilot
have headphones available, but provision is made for
only one microphone. Radio Control Box BC-722-B
contains jacks for two sets of headphones, a jack
for a microphone, an "ON -OFF" switch, a volume
control, and a microphone matching transformer.
d. By unbuckling the strap and buckle assembly,
shown in Fig. 3, and pushing the connector release
lever, Radio Receiver and Transmitter BC-721-B is
released and becomes a "presso-talk" self-contained
portable radio telephone with attached earphone and
microphone resembling an ordinary hand telephone
set. Radio Receiver and Transmitter BC-721-B when
operated in this manner is automatically turned on
when the self-contained telescopic antenna is fully
extended. No volume control is used with the radio
receiver and transmitter when it is used as a portable
radio telephone. See Fig. 2.
2. FREQUENCY COVERAGE.-The unit is
crystal controlled on both reception and transmis
sion, and will operate over the frequency range of
3500 to 6000 kilocycles. However, each unit is ad
justed to operate at only one frequency at a time in
this band. Reception and transmission are on the
same frequency. The set can be made to operate at
any frequency in the band by proper choice of
crystals and coils. For correct performance, each set
must have coils adjusted to the crystals used. The
coils and crystal changes and their adjustments can
not be made by the operator, but are set by the
manufacturer or by maintenance men at authorized
repair depots.
The bottom of the case of Radio Receiver and
Transmitter BC-721-B has a hinged cover which
permits access to the batteries and the radio chassis.
See Fig. 5.

5 . DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS.
a. Housing for Radio Receiver and Transmitter
BC-721-B.-The housing which encloses Radio Re
ceiver and Transmitter BC-721-B is an aluminum
casting. Its interior is divided into three compart
ments, one for the radio chassis, one for "A" Bat
tery BA-37, and one for "B" Battery BA-38.
Two projections from the housing contain the ear
phone and microphone units. These projections are so
spaced and of such length that when the unit is held
with the earphone against the ear of the operator, the
microphone or mouthpiece is in the proper position
for talking.
A "press-to-talk" switch is mounted on the side of
the case, and operates the change-over switch on the
radio chassis which converts the set from a receiver
to a transmitter. This switch is S located that when
the set is held in the left hand, the switch may be
operated easily with the fngertips. See Fig. 2.
The bottom cover. hinges to the housing and is
provided with a slot into which a latching bolt fts.
It is through this end of the housing that the chassis
and batteries are inserted or removed. A contact
terminal board inside the bottom cover provides the

connections between the batteries and the radio
chassis, as well as to the Socket SO-183 which makes
the necessary electrical connection with Mounting
FT-295-B. See Fig. 5.
A small card holder below the "press-to-talk"
switch contains a plastic card on which the frequency
and battery dates are marked. This card is pro
tected from wear by a transparent cover. To remove
the card from its container the bottom cover must be
opened.
The top cover of the set contains an opening for the
antenna rod. This cover is held in place by a mounting
screw which holds the chassis securely in the housing.
Spring battery contacts and a spacer for "A" Battery
BA-37, fastened to the top cover, make electrical
connections to the batteries. See Fig. 6.
An antenna cap, attached to the top cover on the
outside by a chain, protects the telescopic rod an
tenna against weather conditions when the set is
not in use, and when the unit is carried, or mounted
on Mounting FT -295-B.
b. Cordage CO-220.This is a seven-conductor
cable used to connect Radio Control Box BC-722-B
to Mounting FT -295-B. Due to diferent types of
glider installations, the cordage is furnished in
running lengths and should be cut to the length de
sired for each type of installation. Fig. 7 shows the
color code connections to the plugs. Care must be
used when assembling Plugs PL-203 and PL-237 to
the cordage to prevent short circuiting the conduct
ors, and short lengths of sleeving or spaghetti should
be placed over the soldered connections.
c. Mounting FT-295-B.This mounting contains
an antenna tuning capacitor to tune the antenna
circuit of Radio Receiver and Transmitter BC-721-B
to the external antenna used in the glider.
A headset matching transformer is mounted in
side of Mounting -295-B. This transformer
matches the output circuit of Radio Receiver and
Transmitter BC-721-B to one or two pair of either
high or low impedance Signal Corps headsets. Termi
nals for making the proper impedance connections
are provided on the transformer which is normally
supplied with connection made for high impedance
Headsets (HS-23 Type) .
An eight-terminal male connector mounted on the
base makes contact with Socket SO-183 when Radio
Receiver and Transmitter BC-721-B is clamped in
Mounting FT -295-B. See Fig. 8.
4
The external antenna connection to the radio set
is made through an antenna plug assembly installed
in Mounting FT -295-B. This plug is self-center
ing on the mounting to assure perfect alignment
with the antenna receptacle in Radio Receiver and
Transmitter BC-721-B. When the antenna plug
passes into the external antenna receptacle, it ac
tuates a switch in Radio Receiver and Transmitter
BC-721-B. This switch transfers the radio antenna
connection from the internal telescopic rod antenna
to the external antenna.
A strap and buckle assembly attached to the
mounting holds Radio Receiver and Transmitter
BC-721-B securely in position.
d. "PULL-TO-TALK" Control Shafts
MC-355 or
MC-365-B.-This assembly consists of a fexible hous
ing and Bowdin wire, together with the necessary
mounting fttings and control knob. It is fastened at
either the end or bottom of Mounting FT-295-B
and actuates the Send-Receive switch in Radio Re
ceiver and Transmitter BC-721-B. See Figs. 3 and 4.
e. Radio Control Box BC-722-B. This box con
tains the ON-OFF power switch, INCREASE OUT
PUT volume control (receiver volume) , jacks for the
headphones and microphone, a microphone trans
former, and male Connector SO-217. See Figs. 4
and 8.

SECTION II
INSTALLATION
7. MOUNTING FT-295-B.-Mounting FT-
295-B should normally be located in a position in
the glider S that it is accessible for quick removal
of Radio Receiver and Transmitter BC-721-B.
This condition does not apply to small two place
training gliders. There are several locations where the
mounting may be placed, and there are two methods
of installing Mounting FT -295-B as shown in Figs.
and 10. The antenna lead-in should be kept away
from all cables, the metal portion of the fuselage,
and the personnel.
a. The frst method, shown in Fig. 9, is used when
it is possible to get underneath the structure sup
porting the mounting to insert the fastening screws.
Elastic stop nuts are riveted to the fastening fange
on Mounting FT -295-B and prevent losening of the
screws due to vibration.
b. When it is necessary to install Mounting
FT -295-B against a solid object, or where there is
very little space behind the mounting support, the
seond method, shown in Fig. 10, should be used.
There is a large opening directly above the screw
holes in the mounting, through which a screw driver
may be inserted.
c. Mounting FT -295-B is shipped from the fac
tory with the female connector mounted either
in the end or bottom of the mounting, as ordered.
See Fig. 3 and 4. When this connector is fastened in
the bottom of the mounting, the opening provided
for end fastening is covered with a plate held in place
by two screws. To change to end mounting, remove
the plate and the screws holding the connector on
the bottom of the base. Move the connector into po
sition on the end of the base, using the two original
mounting screws.
An easier method is to frst remove the rear guide
fange on the end of Mounting t-295-B. The
two screws on top of the chassis and the two screws on
the bottom must frst be removed. The end guide
fange can then be worked loose from the chassis and
transfer of the connector be readily made.
8. RADI O CONTROL BOX BC-722- B.
Radio Control Box BC-722-B should be mounted
ma location that is accessible to the pilot or co-pilot,
and should be fastened down securely. See Fig. 21.
a. Microphone and Headset Extension Cordages.
The headset and microphone extension cords must
be cut to length for each particular type of glider
10
and must be assembled with care to prevent short
circuiting of the conductors.
The headset extension cords consist of Plug PL-55,
Jack JK-26, and Cordage CO-119. The microphone
extension cord consists of Plug PL-68, Jack JK -48
and Cordage CO-219. Jack JK-48 comprises two
tenite sections which must be cemented together with
a solution of Normal Butyl Acetate, a solvent. Refer
to Signal Corps Drawing SC-B-3242 for more detailed
information.
After assembly of the extension cords, they shall
be plugged into their respective TEL. and MIC.
jacks in Radio Control Box BC-722-B and then fas.
tened securely to the fuselage between the radio con
trol box and the pilot positions. The extension cords
must be of sufcient length to permit each pilot
normal freedom of movement.
9. CORDAGE CO-220. A seven - conductor
cable is used to connect Radio Control Box BC-722-B
to Mounting FT -295-B. Due to diferent types of
installations, the cordage is frished in running
lengths and must be cut to the length desired for
each individual installation. Fig. 7 shows the color
code connections to Plugs PL-203 and PL-237, male
and female respectively. Care must be used, when
assembling plugs to cordage, and short lengths of
sleeving or spaghetti should be placed over the sol
dered connections to prevent short circuiting the
conductors.
10. INSTALLATION OF BATTERIES BA-37
AND BA38.-The set is furnished by the manu
facturer with everything contained in the housing
except batteries. However, the necessary batteries to
put the set into operation must be in place. To install
the batteries, open the bottom cover by turning the
knurled nut on the latching bolt counter-clockwise,
until the nut begins to tum with difculty. Then
press the cover against the case and push the bolt
away from the housing. Release the cover and it
will open. See Fig. 5.
a. The flament or "A" Battery BA-37, which is
cylindrical in form, fts into the round compartment
in the housing. The battery should be inserted into
the housing with the positive contact facing out.
The positive. end of the battery is marked with a
large positive ) sign. Another means .of identify
ing the positive end of the battery is the small
raised metal button. I f the light is insufcient to read
the marking on the battery or that on the battery
contact board in the bottom cover of the housing,

of the battery.
b
. "B" Battery BA-38, is oblong in shape and
fts into the oblong compartment in the housing.
1t must be placed into the compartment with the
positive end out. This end of the battery is marked
with a large positive ,) sign. This battery also has
a small raised metal button, which may be used to
identify the positive terminal.
NOTE.-Before closing the cover, mark the date of
the battery change on the card in the pocket below the
"press-to-talk" switch. The card is removed by slid
ing it out of the bottom of the pocket. The trans
parent cover piece will also come out with the card.
Erase the battery date that is marked on the card
and put on a new date. When re-inserting the card
into the pocket, remember to place the transparent
protecting piece over the card.
c. After the batteries are inserted, the cover is
closed by pressing it against the housing with one
hand, while the other hand moves the latching bolt
into the slot in the cover and tightens the knurled nut
by turning it clockwise. The cover should then be
pressed against a solid object and the knurled nut
tightened until it turns with great difculty. This
is necessary S that Radio Receiver and Transmitter
BC-721-B will properly ft into Mounting FT-295-B.
The spring contacts in the hinged cover will then
make positive contact.
11. PREPARING RADIO RECEIVER AND
TRANSMITTER BC-721-B FOR MOUNTING
FT-295-B.
a. Slide the external antenna receptacle cover down,
exposing the antenna receptacle. See Fig. 2.
b. Be sure that the telescopic antenna is pushed
down into position and the antenna cap is in place,
as shown in Fig. 2.
c. Remove the waterproof protective cover from
the hinged base Socket SO- 183. See Fig. 2.
d. Place Radio Receiver and Transmitter BC-
721 -B on Mounting FT -295-B, as shown in Fig. 3,
and fasten the strap and buckle assembly. Care
should be used when placing the unit on Mounting
FT -295-B to keep the antenna cap chain clear of the
antenna cap protector casting. This may be done by
keeping the chain on the carrying strap side of the
antenna guard.
Installation of Radio Receiver and Transmitter
BC-721-B on Mounting FT-295-B will be made
easier if the eight contact Socket SO-183 in Radio
Receiver and Transmitter BC-721-B is guided into
13
Pars. 10-12
the connector Mounting FT -295-B before connection
is made with the antenna plug.
e. Connect the glider antenna to the antenna bind
ing post marked "A" on Mounting FT-295-B. See
Fig. 3.
f. Connect a wire from the ground binding post
marked "G" on Mounting FT-295-B to the metal
structure part of the glider. This ground wire should
be as short as possible and the paint and scale must
be completely removed from the grounding point on
the metal structure before the clamp is applied.
12. CONTROL SHAFT MC-355 AN MC-365-B.
There are two types of control shafts designed to
provide remote control of the "transmit" and "re
ceive" functions of Radio Receiver and Transmitter
BC-721-B through operation of a "PULL-TO
TALK" knob.
Control Shaft MC-365-B is for end fastening to
Mounting FT -295-B. Control Shaft MC-355 is for
bottom fastening to Mounting FT -295-B. See Figs.
and 4.
These two types are fished in various lengths
depending on the type of glider. To identify them,
the proper nomenclature as well as the length in
inches is stamped on the acor nut of the control
shaft. The packing carton is similarly marked.
0. Mount the "pull-to-talk" control shaft in the
position specifed by the plans and installation speci
fcations of the particular glider. Installation of the
control in any other position will require a "pull
to-talk" control shaft of diferent length. The con
trol should be mounted in such a- position that the
engraving "Pull-to-Talk" can be easily read by the
pilot.
b. Run the fexible control shaft to the Mounting
FT-295-B avoiding any bends of less than 6-inch
radius. A radius smaller than 6 inches causes too
much friction on the inner Bowdin wire. On long runs
where no other means of anchoring the cable are
used, the outside casing should be fastened securly
to the glider structure but care must be taken so as
not t crimp cable.
c. Refer to Fig. 9 if the end fastening method is
used, or to Fig. 10 if the bottom fastening method
is used. Place the eyelet of the Bowdin wire over the
stud on the actuating arm of the lever and slide the
retaining cable clip in position. See Fig. 8. Crimp
this clip over the stud with a pair of pliers.
d. The adjustment for the control shaft cable is then
made by loosening the set screw on the "PULL-TO
TALK" knob with a _Allen set screw wrench and
turning the knob clockwise to shorten the distance
Par, 12
between the' arm and top of Mounting FT -295-B.
The distance should be _inches from the top, To
increase the distance, turn counterclockwise. See
Figs. J, 10 and 11.
The. adjustment for the control shaft car also be
made by fastening a Radio Receiver and Trans
mitter BC-721-B on Mounting FT-295-B and then
adjusting the "PULL-TO-TALK" knob until there
is _of slack in the control before the lever arm en-
14
gages the rubber covered change-over switch. The
point at which the lever arm engages the change-over
switc can be felt at te "PULL-TO-TALK" control
knob if it is slowly pulled outward.
After the adjustment of the control shaft has been
made, the Allen set screw should be tightened down
only on the keyway portion of the control shaft-never
on the threads.
Pars. 13-15
SECTION III
PREPARATION FOR USE
13. GLIDER.-After making the installation as
described in Section II, plug the throat microphone
(T-30 type) into the microphone extension cord jack
and the headsets (HS-23 type) into the headphone
extension cord jacks which are connected to the proper
MIC. and TEL. jacks in Radio Control Box BC-722-B.
14. ADJUSTMENT OF THE ANTENNA TUN
ING CAPACITOR.-Place an 0-100 r-f milliam
pere meter (See Note) in series with the antenna ex
teral lead at the "A" binding post on Mounting
FT -295-B, keeping all connecting wires as short as
possible. Snap on the ON -OFF switch on Radio
Control Box BC-722-B to the "ON" position and
pull out the "PULL-TO-TALK" knob. Adjust the
capacitor located near the antenna binding post for
maximum defection on the meter, using an insulated
screw-driver. Wth a wrench tighten the cap nut to
lock the capacitor securely in place. See Figs. 4 and 8.
The "PULL-TO-TALK" knob should not be held out
longer than is necessary to adjust the antenna tuning
capacitor, as this shortens the life of the batteries.
Disconnect the r-f meter and replace the antenna
lead on binding post "A" on Mounting FT-295-B.
The radio set is now ready for use in the glider.
NOTE: A 0-50 ra r-f meter will be satisfactory
for antenna capacitor adjustments in most cases.
If no other meters are available, the 50 ma r -f meter
supplzed as part of Test Equzpment IE-17-B can be
used for this adjustment. The range can be extended to
100 ma by shunting the meter wth a 5 ohm non
nductive resistor.
15
1 5 . PORTABLE.-For use as a portable radio
telephone, unsnap the buckle clasp on Mounting
FT-295-B, push the connector release lever, and
remove Radio Receiver and Transmitter BC-721-B.
Close the opening to the external-antenna recepta
cle by sliding the waterproof cover up over the
openIng, Fig. 2, and put the weatherproof socket
cover, which is held to the hinged bottom cover by U
chain, in position over the socket. The weather
proof cover must be pressed on very tightly taking
care that it seats uniformly around the edges.
Unscrew the antenna cap located on top of the
housing. This cap is attached to the housing by a
sall chain to prevent its loss. Screw the cap on the
threaded metal stud on the top of the housing. This
will prevent the cap from rattling against the hous
ing when walking with the set. See that the chain IS
NOT wrapped around the antenna rod and that there
is no chance of it touching the rod.
Pull out the antenna gently until all four sections
of the rod are fully extended. The antenna will then
be about 39 inches long. The unit is now held in the
left hand in the same manner as a telephone handset
and is ready for use as a portable radio telephone 8et.
CAUTION: A stop at the lower end of the an
tenna rod prevents it from being pulled com
pletely out of the case but the bottom section
of the antenna must be fully extended since it
operates the power switch on the chassis.

SECTION IV
OPERATION
16. NORMAL OPERATION IN GLIDER
a. Plug the microphone into the microphone exten
sion cord jack connecting to the MIC. jack in Radio
Control Box BC-722-B. Any throat microphone
model T -30 may be used.
b. Plug the headset into the headset extension cord
jack connecting to the TEL. jacks on the ends of Ra
dio Control Box BC-722-B. Use type HS-23 headsets.
c. To Start the Set. PUsh the "ON -OFF" switch
of Radio Control Box BC-722-B to the "ON" posi
tion. Do not turn on radio set with "PULL-TO-TALK"
knob in transmit position.
d. To Receive.-The set is normally in the 'receive"
psition. Volume is controlled by the INCREASE
OUTPUT control knob. Leave the control in the
maximum position until contact is established with
the transmitter desired. It can later be adjusted for
suitable volume. NOTE: If it is desirable to hear com
munications from other glzders or from weak ground
transmitters whzle in tow, the volume control should
always be turned clockwise to the maximum volume
position immediately after completzng conversations
with the tow plane. After tow is broken between the
glzder and the tow plane, the volume control should al
ways be advanced to maximum volume position, as
otherwise the pilot may not hear a transmitter trying to
communicate with him from any great distance.
THE GLIDER RECEIVER IS PRE-TUNED
CRYSTAL CONTROLLED, AND THEREFORE
ANY TRANSMITTER USED TO COMMUNI
CATE WITH IT (SUCH AS IN THE TOWING
AIRPLANE) MUST BE TUNED EXACTLY TO
THE RECEIVER FRQUENCY. See paragraph
19 if reception is poor.
e. To Transmit.-Pull the "PULL-TO-TALK"
control knob. This operates the change-over switch on
the radio set chassis and converts the receiver into a
transmitter. THE KNOB MUST BE HELD OUT
DURING TRANSMISSION, AND RELEASED
WHEN TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETED. Best
results will be obtained zJ the voice is held at a normal
level when using a throat microphone. The microphone
should be adjusted to a comfortable ft on the throat,
neither too tight nor too loose. Speak clearly and dis
#nctly and not too fast.
f. To Turn the Set "OFF".
-
Push the "ON-OFF"
switch of Radio Control Box BC-722-B to the "OFF"
position. THE SET SHOULD BE TURNED "OFF"
WHEN THE GLIDER IS NOT IN USE. OTHER
WISE THE BATTERIES IN THIS SET WILL
RUN DOWN.
16
17. OPERATION AS A PORTABLE RADIO
TELEPHONE.
a. Reove Radio Receiver and Transmitter BC-
721-B from Mounting FT-295-B, as described m
paragraph 1, d.
b. To Start the Sei.-Remove the antenna cap by
turning it counter-clockwise, and place it on the stud
provided for it. The set is tured on when the an
tenna is fully extended. This is accomplished by a
small lever attached to the antenna rod which op
erates the power switch on the radio chassis.
CAUTION: A stop at the lower end of the an
tenna rod prevents it from bein pulled com
pletely out of the case but the bottom section
of the antenna must be fully extended, since it
operates the power switch on the chassis.
c. To Receive. The set is normally in the Receive
position, so that the operator can hear another unit
if it is transmitting on the same frequency. The
antenna should extend above the head in an approxi
mate vertical position. This is important for best
reception and transmission.
d. To Transmii.-In order to transmit, the "press

to-talk" switch on the side of the housing must be

depressed. This is done by the fngers of the hand
holding the unit. The "press-to-talk" switch oper- -
ates the change-over switch on the chassis which
makes the necessary circuit changes to convert the
receiver into a transmitter. The "press-to-talk"
switch must be released when transmitting is com
pleted' in order to receive. When speaking into the
microphone, the speech level should be somewhat
louder than normal and the operator should talk
close to the microphone. For short distances between
radio sets, it is advisable to speak at a lower level.
The operator should speak clearly, and should make
sure that the "press-to-talk" switch is depressed
before starting to speak and that it is released im
mediately upon completion of conversation. There
is a natural tendency to hold the switch down after
the operator has fnished speaking, and to forget to
press the switch before he starts speaking. It is good
practice to pause for a moment after pressing the
"press-to-talk" switch.
e. To Turn the Set Of.-The set is turned of when
the antenna is telescoped into the case. The bottom
section of the antenna rod must be pushed into the
case as far as it will go to tum the set of. The op
erator can hear the toggle switch snap over. The
antenna cap weatherproofng cover for sealing the
telescopic antenna against weather conditions should
be in place when the set is not in use. See Fig. 2.
f. Operation Over Long Periods.When operating
the portable radio set for long periods, it will be found
less tiring to carry the set slung over the shoulder
rather than in the hand. To carry it in this manner
the strap must be lengthened. The strap can be
lengthened by pulling the slide toward the antenna
end of the case. The reverse action will tighten it.
The left arm is then placed between the strap and the
housing so that the set rests on the shoulder. The
set is slung to the front, not the back of the operator.
The set can then be held there with a slight pressure
from the arm, or by permitting it to rest in the crook
of the arm. Wen the operator is called, the sound
will be loud enough for him to hear even though the
earphone is several inches from his ear. The unit can
then be brought into position for use. '
18. OPERATION IN THE RAIN.-The portable
radio set is designed to exclude water, but if operated
during the rain it may be' found that the water flm
covering the antenna insulator at the base of the
antenna acts as a short between the telescopic an
tenna and case, making the set weak or inoperative.
Wiping the insulator frequently with a dry cloth
should improve operation.
CAUTION: Be certain that the external an
tenna receptacle cover is closed and weather
proofng cover in position over Socket SO- 183
when the set is not in use.
19. POOR RECEPTION.
a. When operated in a glzder, poor reception may be
due to having the volume control turned so high that it
causes distortion. The volume control must be carefully
adjusted to obtain distortion-ree reception when glider
is in tow. When several gliders are fying in tow forma
tion the shielding efect of one glider or more on the
other may cause poor reception. The transmitter of
the tow plane must also be tuned exactly to the glider
receiver frequency for best operation.
b. When operated as a portable radio telephone,
poor reception may be caused by signal absorbing
objects, such as steel buildings, trees, hills, power
and telephone lines, and large metal objects, between
the two units. The straight line distance between
units should be as clear as possible of such objects.
Moving one or both units over to new locations will
often improve the operation.
20. LOCATING TROUBLE.
a. If the set does not work when installed in a
glider, that is, no sound is heard in the pilot or co-
17
Pars. 17-21
pilot's headset, frst make certain that the switch is
"ON" and that the volue control is tued "full
on" in a clockwise direction. Then check to see that
the headset and microphone plugs are inserted in
their proper receptacles i n Radi o Contr ol Box
BC-722-B. Check Cordage CO-220, and make sure
that Plugs PL-203 and PL-237 are properly inserted
into Mounting FT-295-B and Radio Control Box
BC-722-B. Check the antenna lead-in to see that it
is connected to the antenna binding post on Mounting
-295-B. Also check the adjustment of the "PULL-'
TO-TALK" control shaft as specifed under para
gaph 12. Be sure that the hinged cover on the radio
housing is fastened tightly. If the set still does not
work, remove Radio Receiver and Transmitter BC-
721-B from Mounting FT-295-B and test as outlined
in part b, paragraph 20.
b. If the set does not work as a portable radio
telephone when the antenna is extended, that is, no
sound is heard in the earphone, check to see that the
bottom section of the antenna extends out of the case
to its full length. This is necessary to operate the
power switch on the chassis.
If the antenna rod is extended properly and the
set still does not work, check to see that the batteries
are placed in the compartment properly.
c. If the unit still does not work, refer to Main
tenance Section for further corrective measures.
d. Operating the portable unit as high as possible,
as' on top of a hill or building, will help increase the
distance of operation. Be sure that the antenna is fully
extended, held in a vertical position and clear of ob
structions for several feet around it. When operating
the unit in the underbrush, keep the antenna from
coming in contact with branches or green foliage of
any kind. Precautions should be taken particularly
in the early morning when the dew is on the ground,
or after a rainfall as conditions of this kind may
render the unit inoperative.
21. USABLE COMMUNICATION DISTANCE.
The unit is designed to operate over distances from
100 feet to 1 mile when operated as a portable radio
telephone. The dependability of operation at the
greater distances will depend on the terrain and te
freedom from signal absorbing objects, such as steel
buildings, trees, hills and telephone and power lines
between the two sets. This is particularly true for
units operating at the higher frequencies in the band.
When installed in a glider, the usable communica
tion distance is somewhat increased because of the
larger antenna and greater freedom from signal ab
sorbing objects.
Par. 22
22. OPERATION COMMON TO GLIDER AND
PORTABLE RADIO TELEPHONE.
a. Change of Frequency. -Changing the operating
frequency of the unit requires a change of the two
crystals and the coils. Coil and crystal equipment is
available to cover the frequency range of 3. 5 mega
cycles to 6 megacycles if required. Special equipment
is required for retuning of the sets and a trained
technician must do the job. The realignment and
coil changing procedure will be found in the Main
tenance section of this book.
b. Replacement of Baueries.-See procedure given
in Section I I, paragraph 10. Both batteries should be
replaced even though one may be in better condition
than the other.
NOTE: When sets are to be placed in storage for
long periods of time, the batteries should be removed
from the case. This will prevent the batteries from be-
I
com'n
g wedged in the battery compartment, should they
swell when aging.
c. Netting.-For a two-way conversation, two
units adjusted to operate on the same frequency are
required. Two units operating at diferent frequen
cies will be unable to converse with each other.
More than two operators can engage in conversa
tion by the use of more units operating on the same
frequency. Because of the receiver arrangement use,
it is possible to operate several receivers at the same
frequency and in close proximity, without inter
ference.
d. There are no limitations on the number of glider
radios that may be operated together without inter
ference in any one fight group or series of fight
groups. However, it will be necessary to restrict com
munication to a minimum as more than one glider
transmitting at the same time on the same fre
quency is apt to cause confusion in orders.
Pars. 23-32
SECTION V
MAINTENANCE
23. LOCATING TROUBLE WHEN SET DOES
NOT OPERATE.-Usually this is a sign of weak
batteries or a burned out tube, although this could
be caused by the batteries being placed in the battery
compartment with negative ends up.
24. REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERIES.
See paragraph 10, Section II.
25. REPLACEMENT OF THE TUBES.-Remove
the chassis from the housing. To do this unlatch the
bottom cover of the housing and remove the bat
teries. Disconnect the microphone and earphone
plugs from the terminal board on the ends of the
chassis. Remove the mounting screw in the top cover
of the housing, and the chassis can be slid out of the
bottom of the housing. Lift the clamp at the top of
the tube and remove the shield, if there is one.
Insert a narrow rod through the bottom in the center
of the tube socket and gently force the tube out.
A small narrow blade screw driver will be found
useful for this purpose. When replaCing the tube, be
sure that you have the right type, that the base of
the tube is so oriented that the pins ft into the socket
properly, and the pins are straight. The wide space
between pins No. 1 and No. 7 of the tube can be used
as a guide to line the tube with the socket. See
Fig. 22.
26. REPLACEMENT OF THE ANTENNA COIL.
The antenna coil is of the "plug-in" type. It can
be easily removed and replaced. See Fig. 15.
27. REPLACEMENT OF THE R-F TANK COIL.
To remove the coil, loosen the screw holding down
the spring clip on top of the coil ; then swing the clip
free of the coil. The coil can then be lifted out of the
socket. When replacing, ft the coil carefully over the
two pins projecting up from the socket so that the
pins ft into the holes in the coil form and the coil
adjustment fts into the hole in the socket. Gently
press the coil into
t
he socket and replace the spring
clip on top of the coil. See Fig. 15.
28. REPLACEMENT OF THE MICROPHONE.
Remove the batt
e
ries, cardboard separator, and
chassis from the case. Then unscrew the bakelite
microphone cover on the housing. The unit can now
be lifted out of the housing. To detach the micro
phone unit from the housing, it will be necessary to
remove the screw which grounds one of the two leads
to the housing. The lead with the connecting plug
(green dot), which fts into the jack on the terminal
board, is withdrawn through the hole in the housing
See Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.
19
29. REPLACEMENT OF THE EARPHONE.
The earphone is replaced in the same manner as the
microphone.
30.REMOVAL AD REPLACEMENT OF THE
CRYSTALS.-The crystals are mounted in "plug
in" type holders. To remove a crystal, lift up the .
clamp located on top of the crystal holder. This
clamp pivots on astud fastened to the chassis. Place
a screw driver between the crystal holder and the
socket and gently pry it up. See Fig. 15.
The receiver crystal, which is 455 kc above the
frequency of the transmitter crystal, is placed in the
crystal socket marked "REe." apd should be placed
so that the arrow on the holder points in the same
direction as the arrow on the socket.
The transmitter crystal should be placed in its
socket in the same manner as that of the receiver
crystal.
31. POOR RECEPTION AD TRANSMISSION.
If the distance between units in operation is within
the limits of 100 feet to one mile, and the transmis
sion is poor, the batteries may be weak. The batteries
are designed to give about 10 hours of operation
assuming that the unit is on for long periods of time,
and that the operator is transmitting a great deal.
They will last much longer if used intermittently.
A sign of weak batteries is a very low noise level in the
earphone when the set is in the Receive position
with no incoming signal.
a. Set Inoperative.
(1) If the batteries are placed in the battery com
partment, with the negative ends up, the set will not
operate. If the batteries are inserted correctly and
the set does not operate, the batteries may be dead.
Replace them with a new set of batteries.
(2) A tube may be bured out or shorted. Remove
the chassis from the housing. See paragraph 25.
Section V. Locate the defective tube and replace it,
Install the chassis in the housing. Take care that the
chassis fts between the guides provided for it in the
case. I f the set still does not operate, it should be
turned over to a maintenance man for further in
spection.
32. ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE USING TEST
EQUIPMENT IE- 17-B.

(b) Test Case CS-81-A
(c) Test Unit I-135-B contains multi-range
meter, haress, r-f and a-f oscillators, bat
tery connections, and instruction book.
b. Test Case CS-81-A.-As the tuning adjustments
are inaccessible because of their location on the chas
sis, which is covered by the case or housing, special
apparatus (Test Equipment IE-17-B) is required to
make these adjustments. See Fig. 12. Test Case
CS-81-A is similar to a chassis housing except for
the holes that have been provided to permit access
to the adjustments. This apparatus permits tuning
the set under conditions identical to those of normal
operation. The tuning adjustments should not be
made on the set without the housing around the
chassis, because the set would become detuned when
i nserted into the housing. Detuning or misalignment
would result from the additional capacity introduced
into te circuit by the housing.
6. Test Stand FT-252-B.-The test stand contains
clamps to hold the unit, a 50 ra r- f milliameter to
measure antenna current, and a receiver and trans
mitter dummy antenna, consisting of a receive-trans
mit switch, a 56 ohm resistor and a variable capacitor
of 8 JJf. maximum capacity.
d. Test Unit 1-13S-B.-See Fig. 13. This unit is a
multi-range voltmeter and milliameter, a
'
crystal
tester, and an r-f and a-f signal source. Test Unit
I -135-B is used for the measurement of battery volt
age, battery current, r-f amplifer plate current, audio
output voltage, and crystal activity. It is used as a
modulated r-f signal source for the alignment of the
receiver and as an a-f signal source for determining
the modulation capability of the transmitter.
The r-f signal source is a Pierce crystal oscillator
and makes use of the transmitter crystal contained
in Radio Receiver and Transmitter BC-721-B or one
of the same frequency. It generates a signal of the
carrier frequency. This r-f oscillator also serves to
check both the receiver crystal and the transmitter
crystal for activity.
The a-f signal source is a Colpitts oscillator gener
ating a signal of 1000 C.p.s. This tone is used to modu
late the r-f oscillator and can also be applied to the
microphone input terminals of the transmitter to test
for modulation capability.
A test harness attached to the test unit provides
the mens of connecting to the chassis. See part e (4)
OIthis paragraph.
An insulated screwdriver is attached to the cover
of the test unit and is to be used for alignment pur
poses.
22
Compartments are provided in the test unit for
"A" Battery BA-37 and "B" Battery BA-38 to per
mit these batteries to be tested under load.
Connections are provided for the use of external
batteries with this test unit. A heavy duty 1 .5 volt
battery (Battery BA-23 or Battery BA-35) and a
heavy duty 90 volt battery (two Battery BA-26 or
two Battery BA-36) will be satisfactory for all align
ment and testing purposes. Battery BA -37 and Bat
tery BA-38 part of Radio Receiver and Transmitter
BC-721-B can als be used for this purpose but are
not recommended due to their short life under these
conditions.
The positions of the "MASTER SWITCH" of the
test unit are as follows :
(1) "OFF" which disconnects exteral "A" battery
or Battery BA-37 and external "B" battery or Bat
tery BA -38 from the chassis of Radio Receiver and
Transmitter BC-721-B and from the r-f and a-f oscil
lators in Test Unit I -135-B. The radio set and oscilla
tor are "ON" in all other positions of the "MASTER
SWITCH. "
(2) "BA-37, 0-3V. D.C. , " which indicates on the
meter the voltage of external "A" battery or Battery
BA-37 when the radio set is in either the "receive"
or "transmit" position.
(3) "BA-37, 0-600 MA. D.C. , " which indicates on
the meter the current drain of external "A" battery
or Battery BA-37 when the radio set is in either the
"receive" or "transmit" position.
(4) "BA-38, 0-150 V. D. C. , " which indicates on
the meter the voltage of external "B" battery or
Battery BA-38 when the radio set is in either the
"receive" or "transmit" position.
(5) "BA-38, 0-60 MA. D.C. , " which indicates on
the meter the current drain of external "B" battery
or Battery BA-38 when the radio set is in either the
"receive" or "transmit" position.
(6) "PWR. AMP., 0-15 MA. D. C. , " which indi
cates on the meter the r- f power amplifer plate cur
rent when the radio set is in "transmit" position.
(7) "OUTPUT 0-60 V. A.C., " which indicates on
the meter the audio output voltage of the radio re
ceiver; the meter is connected across the earphone in
the test unit.
(8) "CRYSTAL ACTIVITY, 0-1 .5 MA. D. C. , "
which indicates on the meter the grid current of the
crystal oscillator to show condition of crystal. The
"MODULATE TESTER" switch must be "OFF"
when crystal activity is being checked.
The switch marked "MODULATE TESTER" is
used to modulate the r-f oscillator with a 1000 c.p.s.
tone when the test unit is to be used for receiver align
ment purposes.

Par. 32
The switch marked "MODULATE TRANSMIT
TER" applies a 1000 c.p.s. audio voltage across the
microphone input circuit of the transmitter as a test
Othe modulation capability of the transmitter. Note:
The "MODULATE TESTER" switch must be "ON"
ad a crystal must be in place in the compartment
socket when this test is made.
Test Unit' I-135-B also contains an earphone and
microphone which are mounted in the front panel of
the case. These can be used to listen to the audio
output of the receiver or to modulate the transmitter
by speaking into the microphone.
Peight contact socket marked "Test BC-722" is
provided for testing Radio Control Box BC-722-B.
The dummy plug must be in the socket at all times
except when the radio control box is to be tested. All
alignment and other tests are made with the dummy
plug in place.
e. Setting up the Alignment Equipment.
(1) Remove the chassis of Radio Receiver and
Transmitter BC-721-B to be aligned from its housing.
To do this, unlatch the bottom cover of the housing
and remove the batteries. These batteries should be
placed aside for test. Then disconnect the microphone
and earphone plugs from the terminal board on the
end of the chassis. Now remove the screw in the top
cover of the housing and the chassis will slide out of
the bottom of the housing.
(2) Remove the transmitter crystal from the chassis
or use H extra crystal of the exact carrier frequency
and place it in the crystal socket in the front panel
compartment of the test unit. See Figure 13. Set the
"MASTER SWITCH" of the test unit to the "OFF"
position.
(3) Place the chassis into Test Case CS-81-A hous
ing. The chassis must be inserted into the test case
through the bottom as is done when inserting the
chassis into its own housing. Take care that the
chassis fts between the guides provided for it in the
case. It should not be necessary to force the chassis.
If force is necessary, withdraw the chassis and check
to see that no parts are catching on the test case or
that the chassis has not jumped the guides. Slip the
top cover over the antenna rod and fasten the chassis
to it with the knurled mounting screw provided. The
chassis will now be held securely in the test case. Now
remove the plate current meter jumper jrom the terminal
board at the end oj the chassis.
CAUTION: DO NOT MISPLACE. THIS JUMP
ER MUST BE REPLACED AFTER ALIGNMENT
TESTS.
(4) Attach the terinal board of the harness to
the terminal board of the chassis S that the two
small pins on the harness terminal board ft into the
plate current meter jacks, and that the two large
26
locking pins, one on each end of the terinal board,
ft into the holes provided for them. Lock the two
terminal boards together by a sideward movement of
the levers attached to the locking pins.
(5) Next, clamp Test Case CS-81-A into Test Stand
FT -252-B with the antenna end up, and the housing
in such position that the change-over switch is oppo
site the left side of the operator as he faces the stand.
See Figure 12. The upper clamp should grip the
housing on the edges of the top cover. The lower
clamp should not be made too tight as the pressure
may crack the housing.
(6) Make certain that the "MASTER SWITCH"
of the test unit is in the "OFF" position. Then con
nect external 1. 5 volt and 90 volt heavy duty bat
teries of the type described in paragraph 32, d.
j. Transmitter Crystal Activzty Test
Be sure that the transmitter crystal has been prop
erly placed in the crystal socket of the test unit. Then
tu the "MASTER SWITCH" to the "CRYSTAL
ACTIVITY" positio
n
. The meter should read be
tween .3 and .8 milliamperes. The " MODULATE
TESTER" switch must be in the "OFF" position
for this test. If the crystal activity reading is lower
than .3 ma. , the crystal shall be replaced and the
defective unit retued to the depot for servicing.
Before replacing a crystal unit for poor activity, be
sure that the exteral battery voltages applied to the
test unit are 1 .5 and 90 volts. The above tests apply
equally well to receiver crystal. Leave a good trans
mitter crystal of the proper frequency in place in the
test unit for receiver alignment tests.
g. Procedure jor Receiver AUgnment.
( 1) Extend the antenna rod to its fll length, 39
inches above the top cover of the test case. This will
turn on the radio chassis power switch. The "press
to-talk" switch on the test case must be out jor all re
ceiver alignment tests.
(2) Turn the "MASTER SWITCH" on the test
unit to "BA-37, 0-3 V. D.C. , " position and observe
the meter reading. The normal reading is between
1.4 and 1 .5 volts, and the reading is the flament or
"A" battery voltage when the radio set is operating
as a receiver. If it is less than 1 . 35 volts, the exteral
heavy duty 1 .5 volt battery must be replaced.
(3) Turn the "MASTER SWITCH" on test unit
to "BA-37, 0-600 MA. D.C. , " position and observe
the meter reading. The normal reading is approxi
mately 350 mao This reading is the current drain on
the "A" battery.
(4) Tum the "MASTER SWITCH" on test unit
to "BA-38, 0-150 V. D.C.," position and observe the
meter reading. If this reading is below 85 volts, the
external heavy duty 90 volts battery will have to be
replaced. This reading is the "B" battery voltage
when the radio set is operating as a receiver.
5) Tu the "MASTER SWITCH" on test unit
to "BA-38, 0-60 MA. D. C. ," position and observe
the meter reading. The normal reading is approxi
mately 14 mao when the radio set is operating as a
receiver.
(6) The receiver is now ready for alignment. Be
sure that a good transmitter crystal of the proper
frequency is in place in the test unit. The preceding
activity check of the transmitter crystal will assure
that a radio frequency signal is being generated.
(7) Set the "MODULATE TESTER" switch to
"ON. " The 1000 c.p.s. tone will now modulate the
carrier signal.
(8) Tu the "MASTER SWITCH" to "OUT
PUT, 60 V. A.C. " position. A reading should now be
indicated on the meter and a 1000 c.p.s. tone should
be heard in the earphone of the test unit.
(9) The r-f signal for alignment is fed into the re
ceiver by radiation from the compartment in the test
unit in which the crystal is located. The slide cover
of the crystal compartment acts as a radiation control
preventing the signal from radiating when closed and
allowing maximum radiation when open. If the set
is badly out of alignment, the r-f signal picked up
by the receiver may not be sufcient to give a reli
able audio voltage reading on the meter (OUTPUT
0-60 V. A.C. position) . For such a condition, connect
a short piece of wire to the Fahnestock clip marked
"R.F. OUTPUT". This clip is located in the crystal
compartment of the test unit. The wire will act as
an antenna and increase the radiation of the r-f signal.
Varying the position of this wire with respect to the
antenna of the radio set or varying the length of the
wire will control the strength of the signal radiated.
I t may be necessary in extreme cases of misalignment
that the wire connected to the "R-F OUTPUT"
terminal will have to be wrapped a couple of turns
around the radio set antenna.
(10) The test case shall be grasped with one hand
during all the alignment tests on the receiver.
( 11) The location of the tuning adjustments on the
radio chassis are shown in Figs. 12, 15, and 16.
With the insulated screwdriver, turn the "receiver
. antenna adjustment trimmer" clockwise. Notice' the
efect of this adjustment on the output meter reading.
If the ' meter reading increases, continue to tighten
the screw until a maximum reading is obtained. If
the reading decreases, tu the screw counter -clock
wise until a maximum reading is obtained. Be careful
not to tighten the screw after it begins to tu hard
as the threaded base of the trimmer will be stripped.
The setting of the trimmer screw for maximum audio
output should fall somewhere between the point of
Par. 32
hard tuning and that of minimum pressure on the
upper plate of the trimmer. If the maximum is Ot
reached in these limits of th screw adjustment,,
1
try
another antenna coil. If the
s
et- appears to be badly out
of alignment, see paragraph 33.
Be sure that the r-f signal is' not strong enough to
cause overloading of the receiver. If this condition
exists, adjustment of the antenna trimmer will have
little or no efect on the audio output reading. Best
results will be obtained if the r-f input is adjusted
so that the meter reading on the 60 volt scale does
not exceed 10 volts, although satisfactory results may
be obtained with readings up to 20 v
o
lts.
(12) With the insulated screwdriver, turn the "tank
coil adjustment" screw for maximum output using
the same method employed in step ( 11) . This screw
which is made of bakelite fts into a powdered iron
core which is threaded. The movement of the screw
changes the position of the core in the coil. If the
screw is turned too far clockise, the core will ride
up against the screw head and threads in the core
will be stripped. If the screw is turned too far counter
clockwise, the core will come in contact with the coil
socket and further turning will again strip the core
treads. The screw setting for maximum output should
fall somewhere between these two limits of adjust
ment:If it does not, a wrong tank coil may be in the
se.
(13) Turn the "MASTER SWITCH" to "OFF. "
Remove the transmitter crystal from the test unit.
Telescope the rod antenna and remove the test har
ness and the knurled fastening screw from the chassis
in the test case. Then slide the chassis out of the test
case and remove the receiver crystal and install it in
the test unit. Put the transmitter crystal back into
the chassis and put the chassis back in the test case.
Attach top cover and haress terminal board. Put
test case in place on the test stand. Then test the
receiver crystal for activity in the same manner as
for the transmitter crystal. Leave a good receiver crys
tal in place in the test unit while making tests on the
transmitter portion of the radio set.
h. Procedure for Transmitter Adjustment.
(1) The test case must be grasped with one hand
during all following alignment adjustments to the
transmitter. The "MODULATE TESTER" switch
should be "OFF" unless otherwise specifed.
(2) Extend the antenna of the radio set to its full
length. This will operate the power switch in the
radio set chassis.
(3) Turn the "MASTER SWITCH" on test unit
to "BA-37, 0-3V. D. C. " position and observe the
meter reading. The normal reading is between 1 .4
and 1 .5 volts, and this reading is the flament or "A"
battery voltage when the radio set is operating as a
27 '
Fars. 32-33
transmitter. If this reading is less than 1.35 volts,
the exteral heavy duty 1.5 volt battery should be
replaced.
(4) Tum the "MASTER SWITCH" on test unit
to "BA-37, 0-600 MA. D. C. " position and observe
the meter reading. The normal reading is approxi
mately 300 ra. This reading is the current drain on
the "A" battery, when the radio set is operated as a
transmitter.
(5) Tu the "MASTER SWITCH" on test unit
'BA-38, 0-150 V. D.C." position and observe the
meter reading. If this reading is below 75 volts, the
external heavy duty 90 volt battery will have to be
replaced. This reading is the "B" battery voltage
when the radio set is operating as a transmitter.
(6) Turn the "MASTER SWITCH" on test unit
to "BA-38, 0-60 MA. D.C" and observe the meter
reading. The normal reading is approximately 30 ra.
when the radio set is operated as a transmitter.
(7) Tum the "MASTER SWITCH" on test unit
to "PWR. AMP." position. Adjust the "tank coil
adjustment capacitor" for minimum current reading
on the meter in the test unit. The normal reading in
this position is approximately 7 ra. See Figure 12
for location of "tank coil adjustent capacitor. " Be
sure to grasp the test case with one hand during tlis test.
(8) Telescope the upper three sections of the an
tenna rod leaving only the bottom or fourth section
flly extended from the housing. Next, clip the
"dU y antenna connection" to the upper part of
the antenna rod. See Figure 12. Set the antenna
switch on the panel of Test Stand FT -252-B to
"TRANS. " psition, and then using the insulated
shaf, adjust the "dummy antenna capacitor control"
for minimum current reading on the meter in test unit
(approximately 7 ra. meter in PWR. AMP. posi
tion) . This adjustment of the dU y antenna capac
ity for minimum power amplifer plate current is
necessary to compensate for the change in antenna
capacity due to telescoping the upper three sections
of the antenna rod. Observe the antenna current
reading on the R.F. meter on Test Stand FT -252-B.
This should be approximately 15 ra. and represents
the Uodulated antenna current.
(9) Place the "MODULATE TESTER" switch
to "ON" position and press the "MODULATE
TRANSMITTER" button on the test unit. This
applies a . 2 volts, 1000 c.p.s. audio signal across the
microphone tenninals. Note the rise in the antenna
current meter reading when the modulated signal is
applied. This rise should be at least six per cent over
the unmodulated current reading. A six per cent in
crease in antenna current indicates ffty per cent
modulation. For example, assume that the unmodu-
28
lated antenna current is 20 ra. and that the modu
lated current is 22 ra.
The increase in current is then:
22-20 =2 ra.
The percentage increase will be:
2/20 X100= 10 per cent.
Another method is to divide the anten current
obtained with modulation by the antenna curent
without modulation; the answer should be greater
than 1.06. For example, take the values of curent
previously given. Dividing the modulated current by
the Uodulated current gives 22/20= 1. 10.
Further checks on modulation may be made by
whistling into the microphone or holding a sustained
note. The modulation rise should be substantially
greater. Note: "MODULATE TRANSMITTER"
button must not be pressed during this test.
33. PROCEDURE IF BADLY OUT OF ALIGN
MENT. If the i-f transformers have been badly out
of alignment, it may be impossible to get a carrier
frequency signal through the receiver as outlined in
"Procedure for Receiver Alignment, " paragraph 32g.
For such a condition, the i-f transformers must be
re-aligned. There are two ways of doing this, the most
satisfactory being to use a 455 KC signal generator
connected to the signal grid of the mixer tube while
the second method makes use of Test Equipment
IE-I7-B.
a. Procedure for I -F Alignment using Signal Gen
erator.
(1) Remove the chassis from the test case and
fasten it to the top cover of the housing with the
mounting screw. Then place the chassis in the test
stand in the same relative position as when in the
test housing, and hold it there by gripping the housing
cover with the upper clamp of the test stand. Leave
the test unit connected to the chassis.
(2) Connect the ground lead of the signal generator
to Test Stand FT -252-B. Connect a .05 uf capcitor
in series with the output lead of the signal generator
and connect the other end of the capacitor to the
No. 6 pin of Tube VT-17I, used as a converter
oscillator. Set the signal generator frequency accur
ately to 455 kc by means of Frequency Meter Set
SCR-211. Set the "MASTER SWITCH" of the test .
unit to "OUTPUT 0-60 V. A. C. " position. Then
adjust the generator output until a 10 volt reading
is obtained on the output meter. Considerable gen
erator output will be required when the set is badly
out of alignment.
(3) Adjust the trimmer on the second i-f trans
former for maximum audio output. Reduce the gen
era tor output as the audio output increases above
10 volts. Next, peak the secondary on the frst i-f
trasformer and ten peak the primary trimmer.
Afer
'
these adjustments have been made, put the
chassis back in
t
o Test Case CS-81 -A and align the
set as given in the regular alignment procedure, par
agraph 32g.
b. Procedure for I-F Alignment, using Test Equip
ment IE-17 -B.
(1) This method of alignment is satisfactory as
long as the transmitter crystal and receiver crystals
in the set are exactly 455 kc apart.
(2) If -the regular alignment procedure described in
paragraph 32g has been followed, and no readable
audio voltage has been obtained on the "OUTPUT
0-60 V. A.C." position of the test unit meter, frst
make sure that a maximum r-f signal is being radi
ated. This can be ass1l ed by connecting a short length
of wire to the "R.F. OUTPUT" terminal of the test
unit and placing this wire close to the receiver antenna.
(3) Then with the "MASTER SWITCH" of the
test uit on "OUTPUT 60 V. A.C.," adjust the
second i-f secondary trimmer for maximum output,
then the frst i -f secondary trimmer next, and the
frst i-f primary trimmer last. See Fig. 12. All i-f
trmers are adjusted for peak output meter reading.
As the i -f trimmers are aligned, loosen the signal
coupling to the receiver antenna so the maximum
audio output reading of the meter is not over 10
volts. This is necessary to prevent overloading the
receiver and consequently poor alignment of the i-f
circuits. The above alignment adjustments must be
performed very careflly for good results.
(4) After the i-f alignment adjustments have been
made, complete the regular alignment procedure by
adjusting the "receiver antenna adjustment trimmer"
and the "tank coil adjustment" as given in para
graph 32g.
34. CHANGE OF FREQUENCY.-To cover the
range of frequencies from 3. 5 to 6 megacycles, an
tenna coils, tank coils, and crystals are available.
Each coil is marked with its frequency and part num
ber so that errors of coil selection will be minimized.
To change the operating frequency of Radio Re
ceiver and Transmitter BC-721-B, obtain a "Coil and
Crystal Equipment" of the desired frequency. The
"Coil and Crystal Equipment" comes in an individ
ual carton marked with the frequency and contains
the transmitter crystal, the receiver crystal, the an
tenna coil, and the tank coil.
The antenna coil is larger and of a diferent shape
than the tank coil. Its base connections also difer,
so there can be no possibility of getting the coils in
the wrong sockets. Both coils are of the plug-in type
to simplify replacement. See Fig. 15, and Fig. 16.
29
Pars. -
Remove the present coils and crYstals from thei
sockets. The crystal clamp must be lifted before re
moving the crystals in the set. Each crystal is then
easily removed by inserting a small screwdriver be
tween the crystal holder and socket and prying. Now
place the new coils in their respective sockets. Then
put the crystals in their proper place in the crystal
socket. The transmitter crystal should be placed in
the socket so that the frequency printed on the metal
face of the crystal holder shows through the opening
in the metal chassis. The receiver crystl should be
placed in the socket with the printed side facing out
so that it can be seen. In any event, the arrow on
top of the crystal holders and the arrow on the socket
must point in the same direction. Replace the crystal
clap.
Proceed with the alignment of the receiver and
transmitter as indicated in paragraph 32.
35. TEST PROCEDURE FOR RADIO CON
TROL BOX BC-722-B AND CORDAGE CO-220.
0. A perforance test can be made on Radio Con
trol Box BC-722-B through the use of a good radio
receiver and transmitter and Test Equipment IE-17 -B.
b. First remove the radio chassis from the housing
and insert it into Test Case CS-81-A, frst making
sure that both the receiver and transmitter crystals
are in place on the radio chassis. Then connect the
harness and terminal board of Test Unit 1- 135-B to
the chassis, and place the case on the test stand. The
radio set in the test case must be in the receive posi
tion and its antenna should not be pulled out. Remove
the dU y plug from the socket on test unit marked
"Test BC-722" and plug in Radio Control Box
BC-722-B.
c. With the switch on Radio Control Box BC-722-B
in the "OFF" position, tu the "MASTER SWITCH"
of the test unit to "BA-38, 0-60 MA. D.C." position.
The meter of the test unit should read zero. With the
"ON -OFF" switch in the "ON" position, the meter
of the test unit will read the "B" current drain of the
radio set when operating as a receiver. This value is
approximately 14 milliamperes. This test indicates
that the "B" battery circuit in the control box is
satisfactory .
d. Turn the "MASTER SWITCH" of test unit to
the "BA-37 0-600 MA. D. C. " position. With the
"ON -OFF" switch of the control box in the "OFF"
position, there should be no reading on the meter.
With the switch of the control box in the "ON"
position, the meter should read the "A" battery cur
rent drain of the radio set when operating as a re
ceiver. This value is approximately 350 milliamperes.
This test indicates that the "A" battery circuit in
the control box is satisfactory.
Pars. 35-37
8. Plug Headset (HS-23) into the jack marked
'-Tel. " on the control box. Vary the volume control
from minimum to maximum position. This should
V the volue of the background noise of the re
ceiver. Test both headset jacks in this manner. This
test indicates that both the volume control and head
set jacks are satisfactory. The control box switch
should be in the "ON" position, and the rod antenna
extended for this test.
j. Turn the "MASTER SWITCH" to "OFF."
Attach the "dummy antenna capacitor" clip to the
fourt section of antenna rod, leaving the frst three
sections telescoped. See Fig. 12. The "press-to-tlk"
switch must be in transmit position. Turn the "MAS
TER SWITCH" to "PWR. AMP." position and
adjust the "dummy antenna capacitor" for minimum
current reading, approximately 7 ra. Observe the
antenna current meter reading. This should be ap
proximately 15 ra. , and is the Uodulated antenna
current.
g. With the transmitter operating properly: the
control box switch "ON," and a throat microphone
plugged into the jack marked "MIC. , " produce a
steady frequency tone in the throat microphone by
either whistling or holding a sustained note by voice.
Be sure to whistle loud enough to cause the antenna
current meter reading to rise. Observe the modulated
antenna current reading. The modulated antenna
current reading should be 15% higher than the un
modulated antenna current meter reading.
h. The above tests may be repeated using inter
connecting Cordage CO-220, with plugs attached,
between the tcst unit and the control box. Plug
PL-203 will be inserted in the test unit, and Plug
PL-237 on the control box. Failure of the control box
to function properly in these tests would indicate
trouble in the interconnecting Cordage CO-220.
i. The radio control box and Cordage CO-220 with
plugs can be checked with a continuity tester equiva
lent to Test Set I-56-A. This test set can be used to
ou
determine the presence of open circuits, short circuits,
por grounding, improper voltages and other similar
defects.
36. TEST PROCEDURE FOR MOUNTING
FT-295-B.-The mounting FT-295-B, can also be
tested with Test Set I-56-A or an equivalent contin
uity tester for the presence of open circuits, short
circuits, poor grounding, improper voltage and other
similar defects.
37. TEST PROCEDURE FOR BATTERIES
BA-37 AND BA-3S.-
a, Use Test Equipment IE-17-B for this test,
but be sure that the exteral heavy duty batteries
are disconnected. The radio set chassis with both
crystals in place is mounted in the test case, con
nected to the test unit and then placed in the test
stand. The "Press-To-Talk" swi
t
ch must be in trans
mit position. The "MASTER SWITCH" of the test
unit should be "OFF. " Then place batteries BA-37
and BA -38 in the compartment in the test unit. Close
and secure the compartent cover. See Fig. 14.
"MODULATE TESTER" switch must be "OFF."
b. Place the "MASTER SWITCH" on test unit
in "BA-37, 0-3 V. D. C. " position and observe the
meter reading. Normal readings will be between 1.35
and 1 .5 volts. If the voltage is less than 1.25 volts,
the battery should be discarded and replaced with a
new one.
c. Place the "MASTER SWITCH" on test unit
in "BA-38, 0-150 V. D.C." position and observe the
meter reading. Be sure the set is in transmit position.
The normal meter readings will be between 75 to
103.5 volts. If the voltage is below 70 volts, the bat
tery should be discarded and replaced with a new one.
d. When it becomes necessary to discard Battery
BA-37 or Battery BA-38 because of low voltage, both
batteries in the radio set should be replaced at the same
ttme. Batteries which are near the lower voltage limit
may be used but they will reduce the overall per
forance of the radio set.
