Why is the 730 series single conversion?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #124 of 1773 |
My Eddystone collection stared out with a 730/4, and I also have a
750. It seems reasonable to assume that the 750 dual conversion
technology would have been available to Strattons when the 730 was
being designed. Now, there are many nice features on the 730/4 that I
wouldn't do without and which were pricey at the time, so I wonder why
it was a single 450kc/s IF and not 1.6Mc/s + 85kc/s and hence 888
selectivity? The MOD was especially penny pinching in those days.
Regards to all: we've been busy with elderly parent problems so I
apologise for perhaps not maintaining this site as I should!

I KNOW this sounds awfully bland, but was not the 730/4 particularly designed to a rather exacting spec. issued by the M.O.D.? If that spec. specifically...

Hello Al/Chris, The 730 series was an Eddystone private venture which was adopted by the MoD. It had to be beefed up a little from a mechanical point of view...

Graeme - Thanks for that. I'm always fascinated by the history of individual Eddystone designs, and that has helped fill another gap! Al / G8DLH ... by the...
