Tracor 900A VLF/LF Rx experience
« on: September 27, 2022, 10:36:30 pm »
Just picked one up at a hamfest and never have seen or heard of one.  Seems to be in pretty good physical condition so I'll have to try it out once I get my bench cleaned up and organized. It'll  track 100 KHz or 1 MHz standard drift compared to whatever VLF/LF stations you can receive.  Most of my stuff has 5 or 10 MHz standards, so I wonder if anyone has tried with 5 or 10.
Thanks
Hank

I've worked on a few of these and they work very well. unfortunately since the modulation change it wont work on WWVB!  :(

The main problem I found was bad switches! They need to work or you can't select the correct frequency!

Cheers,
Corby
