between
J1 and the board
audio
input.
Don't forget to solder
the 1.1
tap
to the
antenna
connector. Before
installing
the
plastic
cover, drill the
access hole
for
C7.
If
the
FM receiver
to be
used is
in
the same room
as the mike, remove
any
external (rooftop)
antenna
leads
and
attach a small vertical length
of
wire
to
the antenna terminal. (Or
use
a rabbit
-
ear
antenna.)
Do not
try
to use the
wire-
less mike
with an
FM
receiver
that
has
an outdoor antenna -the
power
from
the
mike
won't
reach that far.
Using
the Wireless
Microphone.
Tune
the
FM
receiver
to
a quiet
spot on
the
dial
and,
if possible, turn
off the
a.f.c.
to
prevent the receiver from
tuning
auto-
matically
to a
strong
adjacent
channel.
Operate the talk switch (or
turn
on
S1
if you
are using a discrete
switch)
,
speak into
the
microphone
and adjust
C7 through the
hole
in the
cover
until
your signal
is heard
on the FM
set.
Adjust
R5 for
the desired volume.
If
commercial stations in
that frequency
range are
not
too
closely
spaced,
the
a.f.c. can be used to hold
the receiver
on the frequency of
the wireless
mike.

this article show, in
addi-
tion to the wireless microphone,

completed projects
using
IC's.

ception and adjacent
channels
are screened
out
by
the
sharp skirts
of the L/C i.f.
trans-
formers.
Using
pushbuttons
to select
chan-
nels, the listener
can monitor
one frequency
or
all 6 channels (provided
he
has the
nec-
essary modules
installed)
simultaneously.
And
these channels
may
be in either of
the
VHF bands or
a mix
of bands
without
de-
grading receiver sensitivity.
The Ultra
/Monitor is
lightweight
(7 lb)
and has
its own
built -in
battery supply
(rechargeable
batteries
are
optional
at extra
cost). A handle
on the
end of
the receiver
makes it easily portable
for
field use.
One
of the
new variety
of dual -band loaded
whip
receiving antennas
will provide
20
-30 -mile
reception
capability.
When used
at a base
station,
the
receiver
can
be operated
from
an
a.c. line
(automatically
recharging the
bat-
teries) or from
a
12 -volt
d.c. source.
If
you need
a really good
VHF
police
/fire
or Business
Band
receiver, you should
in-
vestigate
the Ultra /Monitor.
It's
functional
design is
unusual, combining
all of
the
portable
-fixed receiving operations
you
could
desire.
Squires- Sanders
will also provide
the
receiving
components for installing
a
tone
-alerting modification.
