• Collins S line
    • 75S Receivers (using C75S or DFD2-S)
      • Connect a  black cable from the BFO Test jack to the BFO input.
      • Some 75S-3 receivers do not have a BFO Test jack. If your receiver is one of those slip a wire with an eyelet over pin 8 of V8 and plug the tube back in. With the tube pins facing you, the pins are counted clockwise from the wide space. (See picture below for KWM2)
      • Remove the nut from the screw between the power transformer and the filter capacitor, and put the ground lug over the screw and replace the nut. Connect a cable from the RCA connector to the BFO input.
      • Connect a black cable from the VFO Output to the VFO input.
      • Connect the black cable from the XTAL Osc. Output to the HFO input.
      • C75d.jpg (35432 bytes)
      • Get 6.3VAC from pin 8 of the power connector and route it to the power input jack of the C75S. No ground is needed.
      • A grey cable is provided if you wish to use it.
    • 75S-2/3
    • Use tube shield probe for the BFO input
      • probe1.jpg (6126 bytes)
      • Using one of the probes, slip the tube shield over V8, the BFO oscillator tube
        • Clip the ground wire to a nearby spot on the chassis
        • Connect a cable from the RCA connector to the C75S/DFD2-S BFO input.
        • probe2.jpg (9832 bytes) similar to shown on my 75S-1
    • KWM-2 (using C75S or DFD2-S)
      • Use two tube shield probes
      • probe1.jpg (6126 bytes)
      • Using one of the probes, on  tube V11 and slip the tube shield over the tube
        • Clip the ground wire to a nearby spot on the chassis
        • Connect a cable from the RCA connector to the C75S/DFD2-S BFO input.
        • probe2.jpg (9832 bytes) similar to shown on my 75S-1
      • Using the second probe,on tube V13 and slip the tube shield over the tube.
        • Clip the ground wire to a nearby spot on the chassis
        • Connect a cable from the RCA connector to the C75S/DFD2-S HFO input.
      • Connect a third cable from the EXTERNAL VFO jack on the rear panel to the VFO input.
      • If you are  using an external VFO you will need a T connector.
      • Connect appropriate power to the C75S power jack.  Anything from 9 to 18 volts DC or 6.3V to 12.6VAC.
        • DFD2 requires 9 to 18VDC.
      • you can attach the probes power clip to the hot side of the pilot light socket
    • JUMPER OPTIONS
      • There are two plug-on jumpers on the PC board inside the unit.
      • To access these jumpers on the C75, remove the screw from the bottom of the unit and slide the chassis out of the cabinet.
      • They are small black plastic jumper plugs that are plugged on four pins on the PCB.
      •  The top jumper selects either 10Hz resolution (jumper on) or 100Hz resolution (jumper off).
      •  The bottom jumper selects how the frequency is displayed
      •   Bottom jumper ON
        •           10Hz resolution would display as 12.345.670 USB (as shipped)
        •           100Hz resolution would display as 12.345.600 USB
      •  Bottom jumper OFF
        •           10Hz resolution would display as 12.345.67MHz USB
        •           100Hz resolution would display as 12.345.6 MHz USB
      •      ADJUSTMENT (Using C75S)
        • The unit has been adjusted at the factory and will probably not need readjusted. If adjustment is required, remove the screw in the bottom of the cabinet and slide the chassis to the rear just enough to reach the controls.
        • Tune to the highest frequency you will use and peak the PRESELECTOR.
        • Set the mode switch to LSB. If the display does not read LSB, turn the BFO control CW until the mode reads correct, then turn it a little more.
        • Set the mode switch to USB and repeat the above.
        • If the frequency is not reading correctly, turn both the VFO and XTAL controls fully CCW. The display will be reading the
        • BFO frequency when the mode switch is set to SSB, or 455 if the mode is AM. The 455 is in software, there is no BFO in AM mode.
        • Turn either control until the display reads a different frequency and is stable, then turn it a little more.
        • Turn the other control until the display reads the correct frequency, then turn it a little more.
        • Try some other bands to be sure the display reads correctly on all bands. If a band is found that is not reading correctly, turn the XTAL control CW a little more.(Remember to keep the preselector tuning at the proper band on the radios panel)
  • KWS-1 (Using DFD2-KWS)
    • The hook-up is straight forward,
    • BFO tube shield probe connected to V104 (see picture above from KWM2 instructions),
    • VFO to VFO Injection jack J203 and
    • HFO to Crystal Injection jack J205.
