Did the Heathkit SB-303 use tubes? Nuff said there. The speech compressor is
housed in an aluminum cabinet painted gray, is about 5 in wide, 3 1/2 inches tall and 7 inches deep.It has a black face panel with four knobs at the top labeled left to right-Gain, Blanker, Level and Volume. At the bottom is a 4 pin male mic input on the left, a in/out, off/on switch in the bottom middle and a 1/4 inch phones jack on the bottom right. There are no names on the unit, inside or out. No model numer, serial number or anything. That is a basic description of what was in the picture. I posted to the group with a picture due to the fact there were no names or any info on or in the unit. I was not expecting to be jumped on like a piece of meat in a lions den. Never dreamed hams could be so nasty. And I do post pics in quite a few groups. If this one can't handle a pic for informational purposes, what good is it? I look at it this way, if you don't like what I do, stay in your own yard and don't look over the hedge row and I will do the same. Thats the problem with the world today, everybody want to run something and no one agrees on how to run it. Just ask Bill and Hillary Clinton. And no, it does not use tubes, but one of the chips inside has a date of 1970, so it was built at the same time as many boat anchors. And yes google does archive binary posts. Just looked at one a few minutes ago. Trent "Michael Black" wrote in message ... "Trent Hancock" ) writes: Well, pardon the hell out of me.

waste bandwidth?
all the below b/s and nobody has helped the guy out yet. ever heard of a helpful, friendly email? oh, i forgot, that won't publicly embarrass the guy. and friend, to attempt to answer your question, i would start by taking off the covers and looking inside. from the picture, i can't identify the unit, maybe the inside will give you some clues. markings on parts, etc. also, possibly matching the circuit to something out of a handbook. just a thought. i would not rule out a VERY nice homebrew unit. granted, the nice front panel may be a stretch. but if the looks place in the 1960'/70's range, there were some very talented amateurs doing homebrew back then. it is also true that many small outfits were making modulators and speech processors. i know it's nothing definite, but maybe a place to start. all the best and good luck.

Perfect sense sir. Neither use tubes, but are considered boat anchors. If
the use of tubes were the only determining factor as to if it was a boat anchor, then all currently mfgd. amplifiers are boat anchors. This does not make sense.

My problem with the whole mess was this: I had no idea this was an all text,
no binary format news group. No where was this written or explained. Another fact is: there are other pics listed in this group, but no nasty messages posted to them. As it appeared to me at the time, I had invaded a good old boys plot of turf and was being told I was not welcome. I have been a user of the Usenet system for years and have never been treated as I have been on this net. Does not say much for the users of this group. I left chicken band in the early 90's to escape the rude ill mannered people that were there and became a ham due to what I heard on the bands. People talked with each other and did not use foul language and call names and were polite. That is why I came to the group to try and get some information on a piece of equipment. The first response was a "YOU DID A NO-NO". What was written you may call polite, but I beg to differ. The Usenet is just that, a Usenet. It is for all of us to use and not for a select few to control. On another note, I did open it up and it uses Motorola chips which I can not cross. The dates on the chips are 1970 and it appears to operate off 15 volts using two 7 1/2 volt batteries. I did get it to operating and it seems to work well on my Drake TR-4 and my SB-401. Got good reports and much better PEP with little clipping. Thanks for the help and I am sorry for blowing off some steam, but I am the type of person, that when jumped at with no explanation, will jump back. If I do something wrong, tell me what I did wrong and ask me not to do it again. Go the other way and I can get very hard headed. I don't take kindly to being TOLD what I will do.

It looks as if you have a ham call but I assume it is a fake email address as I don't expect this sort of language from a licenced ham - at least in VK, where this sort of language is confined to CB, but maybe the US is different.

The first response was a "YOU DID A NO-NO". What was written you may call polite, but I beg to differ. The Usenet is just that, a Usenet. It is for all of us to use and not for a select few to control. On another note, I did open it up and it uses Motorola chips which I can not cross. The dates on the chips are 1970 and it appears to operate off 15 volts using two 7 1/2 volt batteries. I did get it to operating and it seems to work well on my Drake TR-4 and my SB-401. Got good reports and much better PEP with little clipping. Thanks for the help and I am sorry for blowing off some steam, but I am the type of person, that when jumped at with no explanation, will jump back. If I do something wrong, tell me what I did wrong and ask me not to do it again. Go the other way and I can get very hard headed. I don't take kindly to being TOLD what I will do.

I remember seeing ads for this unit in old QST magazines (you know, the
little ones...). I believe it was made by a small obscure company as a speech processsor for the Collins KWM-2 radio gear. Maybe early Autek stuff? "Trent Hancock" wrote in message ink.net... Anyone know who made this speech compressor and maybe even what type batteries it uses? Thanks in advance, Trent Hancock KR4UW |
Trent,
I looked it up and I think it's a DX Engineering speech processor. They made 2 units, one for Collins 32-Sx transmitters, and one for the KWM-2 transceivers. Here are the model numbers: LC-1-32S (for transmiiters) RF LC-2-TR (for transceivers) I believe the "RF" model is a true RF speech processor, while the other one is just an audio compressor. Hope this helps.... 73 Mark W4UDX "Trent Hancock" wrote in message ink.net... Anyone know who made this speech compressor and maybe even what type batteries it uses?

Mark, it's not a DX Engineering rf speech processor for Collins.
Those units were installed internal to the Collins equipment. (You removed an i.f. amplifier tube, plugged the DX Engineering device into the empty tube socket, and then plugged the i.f. amplifier tube into the new socket on the DX Engineering device). Trent's mystery device looks similar to a Comdel CSP-11 speech processor, but only because it uses the same cabinet made by LMB. The type of mic jack looks like that on a Drake TR-7. I would guess this was a nice home-brew equivalent of the Drake SP-75 speech processor, with a headphone jack and volume control added for adjustment by ear. 73, Ed Knobloch W4UDX wrote: Trent, I looked it up and I think it's a DX Engineering speech processor.

That's right! I forgot about that. They did install internally. I am pretty
sure I saw old ads for that compressor... "Edward Knobloch" wrote in message news:70uKd.132$me4.69@trndny04... Mark, it's not a DX Engineering rf speech processor for Collins.

Thanks, Trent Well, no one can force you from it, but it is against Usenet convention to post binary files to non-binary groups. There are good reasons for it. There are binary groups set up for that purpose and it is very easy to point to your binary file that is posted to a binary group, and any gentleman would be more than happy to abide by that convention. |

Yes, folks CAN force you. Your news admin can refuse to allow service to you (or refuse to allow binary posting), and the site downstream can refuse to accept traffic from your site if that does not take place. These sorts of things don't happen today except in pretty egregious cases, which is what has driven a lot of backbone sites just to drop all binaries to discussion groups themselves. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Trent Hancock wrote in message ink.net... Anyone know who made this speech compressor and maybe even what type batteries it uses? Thanks in advance, Trent Hancock KR4UW Yes... I tend to agree... it sure looks like a Comdel speech processor (LMB Box)---but I thought the Comdel name was on the front panel and had different knobs... Check out the product review on the Comdel CPS-11 on the ARRL website (I am not a member so I can't download it). The Comdel was an exceedingly effective processor. It might be called an RF speech processor (that's what Comdel claimed) since it took the mic audio, convert it to an RF signal, process it, then demodulated it---output was again an audio frequency. A buddy WA9ZPR (where is he now) back in the late 1970's used one. That's how I got to know him (we became ham buddies and had many skeds)... he was on 20 meters as the band was about to go out demonstrating it to another ham as I was listening. He would go from complete no copy to solid copy as he would switch the device in and out. RG |
