G2DAF Mk 2 Receiver Article Wanted - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Snappa1 · 24th Jul 2011, 10:12 am

Does anyone have the first article describing the development of the Mk 2 receiver, please. I have the Mk1 booklet, the 5th Edition (1976) of the RSGB handbook in which the Mk2 is described, and I have the Part 2 article from Rad Com, December 1973.
But I'd really like to see the first Rad Com article (November 1973 ?), which I hope will give me the background as to why he thought a Mk2 was necessary, and why he chose the technology he did.
Thanks for any information.

I have the Nov 73 Rad Com. The article runs to three pages.

PM me and we can organise something.

The MkI was originally 1961, so no "WARC" bands

Ed Dinning kindly sent me some info when I was playing with one, I'll dig it out when I get home, you're more than welcome to it.
Rob.
