Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Armstrong's Latest Contribution A NEW PHASE-SHIFT MODULATOR Ised Exclusively in the New QHJ DL Line of FM Broadcast Transmittei SIMPLER-MORE EFFICIENT MAJOR E. H. ARMSTRONG — the inventor of FM — has recently developed a new phaseshift modulator circuit which REL has now incorporated in all of the new DL line of FM broadcast transmitters — now available for early delivery in five power ratings from 250 W. to 50 KW. Remember — when you deal with REL — you deal with FM's Pioneer Manufacturer — with experience and knowledge gained from having built and put in operation — more FM broadcast transmitters than all other manufacturers combined. The general overall characteristics of DL FM transmitters are: * OPERATING FREQUENCY: Available to operate on any predetermined frequency from 40 to 50 inc. The exact frequency must be specified when the order is placed. * FREQUENCY STABILITY: These trans' miners are guaranteed to maintain their frequency within less than 200 cycles of the assigned frequency. The frequency is directly controlled by a single crystal, without the use of complicated mechanical or electronic devices, * FIDELITY: The overall response is within plus or minus 1 db from 30 to 15,000 cycles. * DISTORTION: The measured r.m.s. harmonic distortion is less than 1% for all signal frequencies between 50 and 15,000 cycles at ± 75 kc. swing, (100% modulation) AND IS LESS THAN .2% FOR FREQUENCIES FROM 400 to 15,000 CYCLES. * NOISE LEVEL: The signal-to-noise ratio is better than 70 db, measured at the output of a monitor receiver. This is an unweighted measurement, with 150 kc. maximum swing, and includes hum. * INPUT: The audio input to the transmitters is zero level, 500 ohms, 6 milliwatts. * ECONOMY: New Type 558 Modulator employs only 28 small tubes from program input to operating frequency — affording lowest possible tube cost; for example, a complete set of tubes for the new catalog 518 DL 1000 W. transmitter including modulator is only $238.
