7 ‘m'WTEST YOUR‘BATTERY
we are today going to discuss
some or the incorrect assumptions
made with respect to certain receiv-
ing equipment. . ~
One of the most common bad
,rictices seen among fans in gen-
ersl is the testing of the “B” bat-
tory—or the "A" battery, either.
to: that _matter——and that is to
turn your set. and turn up all the
tubes to the point where you usu-
ally operate them, and then take
your voltmeter and test the"‘A" or
“B” battery. “her: a 22 1-2 volt
“B" battery has dropped to 17
volts. it is just about through. and
should be replaced. Acid storage
cells should not be allowed to drop
below 1.7 volts per cell. That is,
0! your three-eel? six-volt storage
"A" battery shows a voltage 0: 5.4
volts. or less. it is time to put on
the charger.
Another point not commonly un-
derstood is that a high ratio trans-
former is undesirable in an audio
amplifier that is going to be used
for phone work. Ratios higher
than 4 1-2 to 1 are to be avoided.
Three and one-half to one is usu-
Td'lly a good ratio to choose. The
Qualn disadvantage of the high-ra—
;lo type is that most or the ampli-
fication takes place within a. nar-
.301 band 0t frequencies, and falls
pt! to either side of this band,
yhich usually comes around 800 or
000 cycles. This means that some
{ones will be amplified very much

more than others, and distortion
will result. Low-ratio transformers
usually amplify more evenly over
the whole audio band. It should
not. be thought that we are: sacri-
ficing a great deal of signal strength
by using a. low—ratio transformer.
By actual test, several 3 1-2 to 1
and 4 1-2 to 1 transformers showed
just as much amplification as some
0: much higher ratios.
A very important thing to re-
member is NOT to use acid solder-
ing flux in wiring up your receiver.
This statement . has been made
many times. but experimenters
continue to have noisy sets owing
to the persistent use of acid paste.
l_'se rosin-core solder. It will mean
much less trouble later.
Another thing to bc . borne in
mind is that single-strand solid
copper wire. preferably doublesilk
or double-cotton covered. is the
best wire to use in winding coils.
Litz and other stranded wire is not
appreciably better at phone wave
lengths. and may be very much
worse. It all the strands are un—
broken in a coil of litz. or stranded

. C. W. Waves Cause
‘ Most Trouble
By CARLTON E. BUTLER
(Radio Engineer)
A few years ago the majority of
:transmitting outfits were of the
Lspark or damped wave type. The
5 wave emitted by this type of u. send-
ing set was very broad and was very
hard to tune out. especially if the
station was nearby.
Most of the spark transmitters
have been replaced for the more et-
jl'icient C. \V. or continuous wave
Hype which ha\‘e a very sharp wave
\ery musical and pleasing if the
equipment is used with a proper Ill-
ier to takeout the alternating cur-
rent ripple.
The-operalion o: the C. W. ama~
tuer transmitting stations is limited
to the low wavelengths and it is sel-
dom that you will hear one above
two hundred and fifty meters.
Around the broadcasting wave-
lengths you will again hear a. num—
ber of C. \V. whistles. nor code but
a. constant whistle hke a. familiar
peanut machine whistle.
Sometimes this whistle is strong
enough to_ seriously interfere with
your reception of a. distant station.
At otha times it is barely audible.
This is caused by the carrier wave
or a. distant station which is trans-
mitting on a Wavelength very near
that of the station you are listen-
ing to. It the stations are coming in
loud enough you may be able to hear
"cl'oss talk" or snatches of the pro-
gram from each station.
The wavelength assignments of
the various broadcasting stations is
generally arranged so that the sta-
tions will be separated sufficiently
to prevent this trouble, which is cal-
led “hetrodyning”.
Due to changes in weather condlv
tions or to variables in the equip-
ment or thestations their wavelength
may vary slightly from day to day
so as to cause this trouble now and
then. It is impossible to tune‘
either station clearly without hear-
ing the whistle from the other sta-
tion when they are this close togetht
er. As soon as’one of the stations
sign of: the other will come in clear
and "distinct. -
