Title: Help - Collins 310B Exicter/TX
Post by: W1UJR on October 19, 2005, 12:21:33 AM
Hello all, just picked up a nice 310B as a winter project for the shack.
Unfortunately I received no manual and it seems that little information is available for these units on-line, even at the CCA site.

Could someone photo copy a manual, will of course reimburse for costs, or simple email if they have same in digital form.
I am confused about the output network of the unit.
It appears to use coils, but no coils came with the unit.
What is the fix for these, does anyone have specs for home brewing such?

I'd really like to use the unit as a exciter for another rig and also as a stand low power unit.
I'd really enjoy corresponding with someone who might share their collective wisdom of this unit.

Tnx ES 73 Bruce W1UJR

They  use B&W JCL type coils.... There is was a mod to the unit after about  serial # 120, side tone and others.  I have a copy of the earily manual, if it will help... but only a copy. and not good and clear :)Mike/N8ECR
