Re: {Collins} 75A3

[k0occ@xxxxxxxxxxx]

When I had a 75A-3, I built a substitute for a mechanical filter. It was super simple.Two 18K resistors and a .01 capacitor. Plugged it in one of the fliter sockets. Result was a wide bandwidth for HI-FI AM. Made the 75A-3 sound like my 75A-1

A slightly more sophistcated version was written up in Electric Radio, Aug ' 94. Added two RF chokes. Probably is better than what I did. 


There are probably other versions as well. You might check the Collins archives, and do some Google searches.

I have a very nice 75A3 with a 6 Kc filter. When listening on AM, it's has 
too low of a base response. Matching speaker. Perhaps it needs a new 
speaker or any other ideas. I have to tune off to the side to hear it best. 
On 75 meters.
