Default Re: ISB Receivers

Hi All,
Racal also had an offering which was specifically targetted at the HF re-broadcast market - the RA133.
This was a dual diversity HF receiving terminal, comprising:
2 x MA197B Preselector
2 x RA117C Receiver
2 x RA98C ISB Adaptor
1 x MA299A DSB demodulator & Audio Combiner
1 x MA343A distribution & Patch panel.
Unfortunately, the only documentation I have for this equipment provides very little information on the MA299A. No mention is made of what type of DSB demodulator is used, or how the diversity combining is achieved. Interesting that synthesizers are not included in the package.
I have no knowledge of who Racal may have sold this equipment to, somebody with deep pockets, I guess!
cheers
