Re: Howes DXR20 receiver.
Hi,
Perhaps you could contact the GQRP Club: http://www.gqrp.com/howes.htm They appear to have an archive of meterial relating to the Howes Kits, as long as certain criteria, such as actual ownership of the Howes Receiver etc is met. |

Re: Howes DXR20 receiver..
The instructions for the DCS2 only have this calibration information:
"VR1 should be set to give reasonable meter readings. It adjusts the sensitivity of the meter. Set it about three-quarters clockwise as a starting point." I think all you can do is decide what you want it to read at S9 and set it accordingly. The meter driver circuit diagram implies that it should provide an approximately logarithmic response. In case you haven't noticed already, the receiver type is actually DXR20 - this might help if you are doing an internet search. |
