Technical Information and Modifications for
Other Manufacturer's Equipment Compiled by Mike Morris WA6ILQ |
Below are are manuals for equipment from other manufacturers that don't have their own pages at this site. When we have enough from one manufacturer we will create a page for them... like the manuals from AEA, Bird, Cushman, Helper, Instrument Flight Research (IFR), Ritron, Radio Shack and Zetron which used to be here but are now on their own pages. Test equipment companies are listed under "Test Equipment" on the main index page.
Donations of manual files for this page are gratefully accepted.

There doesn't seem to be any one place where all the Azden amateur radio mannuals are kept. You will just have to do a Google search for whaever you need. I had to find a PCS-4000 manual, so here it is: Azden PCS4000 Instruction Manual 5.09 MB PDF |

Cetec-Vega Model 188 tunable PL encoder - Front of data sheet Back of data sheet courtesy of A. Nony Mous While most modern tone encoders have a DIP switch to select specific tones this one has a 10-turn trimpot (or 15, or 20, depending on the production run), and the circuit is easily duplicated on a perfboard. Vega no longer makes it, so have fun! |

Clegg Communications Corporation was run by Ed Clegg, W8LOY, from
the 1960s until he died in September of 2001 at age 80. Clegg was one
of the early and most popular amateur VHF radio manufacturers and
importers. His designs included the Zeuss transmitter and companion
Interceptor receiver, the Clegg 99er 6-meter rig and the AV-44 All
Bander receiving converter. It was never clear if the Mark 3, FM-27 and FM-28 were designed by Ed or by the Midland staff engineers, but the units were made by Midland and imported under both names. One trait of the imported radios he sold is that Ed never shipped a unit in a factory sealed carton, and he was proud of that. Each and every boxed radio was opened, tested and resealed prior to shipment and the test data was included with each individual unit. This was because they were made by Midland under an OEM agreement, and Ed Clegg believed in 100% Quality Control. Mark Three 1.2mb PDF. Equivalent to the Midland 13-500. The last page of the PDF is a full-size schematic diagram. FM-76 1.5mb PDF. Equivalent to the Midland 13-509. The second page of the PDF is a full-size schematic diagram. FM-88 1mb PDF. Equivalent to the Midland 13-510 (the 2m version of the 13-513 220 radio) Interestingly enough, the manual says that the unit has 143.0 to 148.995MHz coverage. The FM88 had a scanner option (FM-88S) that was very rare. |

CSI - There are or were three different companies that used the initials CSI - one was Communications Systems Incorporated (CSI) Company in Lynwood, Washington which is long out of business. That CSI was a manufacturer of commercial two-way radio PL/CG/tone/CTCSS/DPL/Digital-sub-tone panels (community repeater/shared repeater tone panels). These blue-gray color CSI-32 plain and CSI Super-32 Repeater Tone Panels are not to be confused with similar products made by Connect Systems Inc. originally in Torrance (now in Ventura) in Southern California - the two companies despite the identical monikers are not and were not related in any way. Nor are they related to a third "CSI", Communications Specialists Inc. (also known as Com-Spec), the makers of the popular subaudible tone encoders and decoders, which is in the city of Orange, in Southern California. Communications Specialists Inc. (Com-Spec) and Connect Systems have their own pages at this web site.
The first file listed below contains the basic (standard) CSI 32 Repeater Tone Panel Controller manual (photo of the unit). The second file contains the CSI Super 32 Repeater Tone Panel(Controller) manual. The last two files contain the two pages of programming commands from the basic (standard) CSI 32 Tone Panel Controller Manual; the zip file contains two GIF files, and the pdf is a two page image file. If anyone has photos of the Super 32 panel we'd appreciate an email... The first four of the Communications Systems Incorporated (CSI-Lynwood) files below were donated by Skipp http://www.radiowrench.com. |

Data Signal became Game Country, Inc. and they still have some old manuals left.
They wrote: We did go by the name Data Signal quite a few years ago. We got out of that business when cell phones took off and eliminated about 80 % of our product line. Fortunately, we do still have some of the old product manuals available. We have a CWID 70 DC version that you can purchase for $10.00. It has all the information that you need. Schematics, theory, installation and so on. One thing you do need to know is that coding of the prom is no longer possible by us. If you need to change the code, then you will have to go elsewhere. To get the manual send a check along with your complete mailing address. Please let me know if you need further assistance. |

GLB Electronics is no more, the remains were sold after the founder and chief
designer Gilbert Boelke W2EUP passed away. Gil designed and manufactured an
excellent receiver preselector, and his regular appearing advertisement in
73 magazine (page one of this file) was
the first inkling that many new hams of the 1960s had that stock receiver performance
could be improved and inexpensively. A 1990s price list is on page two of the file.
Here's the instruction sheet that was packed
with it. Gil's application
document was available for an SASE, and also packed with every preselector. His
design was cloned by several companies, has been upgraded and is still in production
today, over 30 years later. See
this
info page.
Gil was a very gifted and talented RF design engineer. In addition to the preselector
and the Hybrid Ring Duplexer (see the Antennas Page at this web site), he designed and
sold a number of receiver preamps, plus the first practical synthesizer for amateur
radio. All were available in kit or built form. The marketing name for the 2 meter
synthesizer was the GLB Channelizer model
400. The "A" version was Gil's prototype, there were a few B kits sold,
the main production was the "C" model, and there were a few "D"
models sold (they had a single row of switches, and a center off toggle for offset
selection, labeled "+", "Ø" and "-", all in a half-high box). There were also a large number of unauthorized "knock-offs" made,
and for a while you could buy "GLB kits" at many amateur swap meets - two single sized
PC boards, a baggie of parts, and a photocopied manual.
This rear photo shows "F" connectors for
the RF out, but BNCs and RCA connectors were common - whatever the builder needed to
match his situation. If the builder had a trunk mount radio (like a Motrac, Prog or
Mastr-Pro) he simply ran RG58 from the synthesizer to a small matching network next
to the crystal sockets of the radio, and the cleaned up RF was passed to the crystal
sockets themselves. Click here for a complete GLB 400 manual Click here for the GLB 400 schematic only. Both of these files are courtesy of Steve NUØP |

Grundig Yacht Boy 400PE 1.35
MB PDF Donated by A. Nony Mous This is a really nice little portable short wave receiver. I used to keep one in my repeater site toolbox in a Seagrams Crown Royal blue cloth bag inside a canvas bag. It was my hilltop entertainment while I worked on the repeater equipment. It's amazing how well it receives when the antenna is a tower guy wire... (our HF remote used two of the four tower guy wires as an inverted V antenna) |

Waters Hybrid Couplers model 3001
and 3002. 1 MB PDF courtesy of A. Nony Mous The Waters phone patches were the Rolls Royce grade units of the 1960s and are still prized today. The 3002 had a audio leveling amplifier that worked quite well. The physical design was interesting as well - the unit could sit horizontally on top of a radio, or vertically next to it. The front panel was reversible for either mode. |
