SRR-13A

Just acquired a Navy receiver SRR-13A works great but no standby switch has AGC OFF/NORM . Is there a way to use it with a dowkey and not take the front end out? Thank Mark K5YGC

THere should be a standby/receive switch beside the power switch on the front panel.

Fun radio, was supposed to replace the R-390 but fell short. Has issues with drift and is a nightmare to work on being designed around little replaceable sections with soldered in peanut tubes. Good image rejection and well behaved in high RF environments.  Be careful of little arms on switches between sections, they are cast aluminum or something like that and if you over tighten them they brake and your screwed. Had seen steel replacements but they are far a few between. The optical display is fun and from what I recall they did not sound that bad on AM

Sounds great on AM and SSB with very little drift at all. From what I have found out some have a standby switch and some just the AGC NORMAL/OFF. After reading the manual some more today the ant. circuit has a current operated thermal relay which opens the antenna lead to protect the RX input circuits from overload,as when a transmitter operates in the immediate vicinity. Under overload conditions,the relay opens and closes rapidly to maintain an average current of 150 ma.  Maybe just need to mute the speaker?
