"CONQUEROR" and "CONQUEROR SD"  SSB Transmitter

SPECIFICATIONS:

* Modes:

A1 - Continuous Wave (CW)
A2H - Modulated Continuous Wave (MCW)
A3H - Compatible SSB
A3A - SSB with reduced carrier
A3J. - SSB upper sideboard only with suppressed carrier
F1 - Frequency Shift keying (An option).

Whenever 2182 KHz is selected, the transmitter goes to A3H mode.

* Frequency range: Coverage of all the marine frequencies in the band 405 kHz to 525 KHz and 1.6 to 26 MHz (divided into 12 sub-bands).
Spot frequencies of  410, 425,454,468, 480, 500, 512 and 2182 KHz. are available.

 MF
1605 to 3800 Khz

HF
44063-4231 KHz
6200-6345 KHz
8195-'8459 KHz
12330-12689 KHz
16460-16917 KHz
22000-22374 KHz
25070·25110 KHz

* RF Power:
 

MF (405 to 525 KHz) A1 mode 500 watts
A2H mode 320 watts
IF (1.6 to 3.8 MHz)  Limited to 400 watts PEP for all emissions
HF (4 to 25 MHz) Power levels for A1 Mode 

1500 watts on 4 and 6 MHz
1400 watts on 8, 12 and 16 MHz
1100 watts on 22 MHz
200 watts on 25 MHz

HF (4 to 25 MHz) Power levels for A3J mode

1500 watts PEP on 4, 6, 8 and 12 MHz
1400 watts PEP on 16 MHz
1100 watts on 22 MHz

Apparently the Conqueror was spec'ed out for 1800 watts PEP on HF but when it went into production, the power level was derated to 1500 watts PEP
 
* Frequency control: Frequency generation is by a frequency synthesizer or crystals which allows operation on any of the mobile marine frequencies without need of additional crystals. A single temperature controlled master oscillator provides a 5 MHz frequency standard.. When a synthesized drive unit is employed in the transmitter  the designation changes to Conqueror SD.

* Mains Power input - 3 phase AC  107.5 to 120 Volt  50 to 60 Hz. Power consumption approx. 3,9 kVA. The Conqueror may be operated from 220-250 V or 380-440 V, 3-phase AC by utilizing an external transformer.

* Weight -Total weight of 214 kg (471 lb) includes the power supply which weighs 101 kg.

* Dimernsions: 48"H x 25.675" W x 25"D

* Circa: 1975
