The gain of a receiver is the ratio of the output power 8.

Adjust the MICROVOLTS OUTPUT controls

to the amount of antenna input power. The use of the
CB42's audio wattmeter simplifies this test, since the
output signal is read as a power rather than a voltage.
This means that the output impedance and voltages
do not need to be calculated for the power ratio. The
accompanying graph shows the amount of receiver
pin in dB using a 1.00 Watt output as a reference.
To determine receiver gain:
1. Supply the proper power to the CB receiver.
for a reading of 1.00 Watts on the DIGITAL
READOUT.
9. Read the setting of the MICROVOLTS OUTPUT
controls to determine the amount of input nec-
essaryfor a 1.00 Watts readout.
L 0 . T'he receiver gain is the point on the graph indi-
cated by the setting of the MICROVOLTS OUT-
PUT controls. EXAMPLE: .d reading of 1 uV
indicates a gain of 137 dB.

2. Connect the output of the RF-IF OUTpUT jack

to the receiver'santenna jack using the supplied ReceiverGain
RF cable.

3. Connect the audio output of the receiver to the
1$
SPEAKER SUB input of the CB42 using the
145
supplied audio cable. Set the SPEAKER SUB Example 146
switch to the proper impedance to match the 1 uV=l37dB
output of the receiver.

channel as the CB receiver. =,

5. Set the intemal audio generator to 1000 Hz and

the AUDIO MODULATION switch to LOjVo.

6. Set the DIGITAL READOUT SELECTOR to

the AUDIO WATTS position.
