General Information
BR Seneroi Description
The Transworld TW100 isa high-performance, 100-W,
single-sideband transceiver designed for operation on any of
the frequencies in the range 1.6.30 MHz. A wide variety of
‘models and options are available to make the transceiver
suitable for marine or land mobile operation, fixed-base
‘operation oF as a component in a high-performance HF com-
munication system.
‘This manual has been prepared for the operator of the Trans-
world TW100 transceiver. It has not been designed for the
technician or engineer and does not cover detailed technical
or installation information. ‘The TW100-MS technical mantal
gives comprehensive information on the transceiver and is,
‘essential for servicing and adjustment of the transceiver,
EEE Modes of operation
Single sideband (SSB) is the premier mode for voice com-
‘munications in the HF range. Most commercial operation is
on the upper sideband (USB), although there are some
countries where lower sideband (LSB) is specified. The
‘TW100 will be equipped for USB operation unless LSB is
specifically requested. Ifthe licensing authorities permit
USB and LSB operation, the transceiver may be equipped
for operation on both sidebandls. This is an advantage, a8
sidebands may be switched to avoid interference or give an
‘additional channel frequency.
AM has almost disappeared from the HF bands except for
broadcast stations. The compatible AM mode (A3H) is avail-
able in the transceiver and is used for communicating with
AM stations. Telegraphy (CW) is sometimes used for HF
‘communications, and skilled operators may achieve supe-
rior communications under difficult conditions,
Radioteletype operation has become an increasingly impar-
tant form of HF communication and the transceiver has
bbeen designed for operation in this mode (FSKO. A special
1 modem is required to convert the FSK signal for interface
with a terminal unit
Fy Transceiver Description
‘The TW100 is a solid-state, high-frequency, single-sideband
transceiver operating in the HIF spectram from 1.6-30 MEX
Complete coverage of this range is available in 100-He incre-
ments with no gaps or disallowed frequencies in the
coverage.
The transceiver has a minimum power output of 100 W
(PEP or average), Over much of the frequency range, the
power output may be set as high as 150-W PEP. The adjus-
table ALC circuitry may be set to limit the power output at
any desired level and also protect the amplifier against an-
tenna mismatch.
The transceiver uses an up-conversion system with the first
IF at 75 MHz and the main selectivity at 1650 kHz. With this
system, the main spurious products do not fall within the
operating range, which ensures freedom from spurious
response in both the transmitter and the receiver. The front
end of the receiver uses a passive double-balanced mixer
‘with a high intercept point, which gives freedom from inter-
‘modulation and overload. The antenna is coupled t0 the
transceiver through six seven-pole, elliptic Function filters
providing a high degree of harmonic attenuation and rejec-
tion of outof-band signals. The receiver is equipped with a
noise-immune squelch system designed for SSB operation.
This isa great operator convenience as it eliminates back-
ground noise, yet opens reliably, even on weak SSB signals.
The squelch circuit is preset and is controlled by an
ON/OFF sivitch,
FEY reauency setection
‘The transceiver uses a microprocessor to control the frequen-
cy selection. The microprocessor operates in three different
‘modes to suit the particular class of operation desired. The
‘operational mode may be selected by an internal switch or
may be permanently set by the use of a special coding.
cuit. No crystals are required, for all Irequency control is,
derived from a single temperature-controlled, precision crys-
12
tal oscillator. No tuning or adjustment is required for any
frequency change.
In Mode 1 the transceiver channel frequencies can be
programmed by the operator. Channel 00 is designated as.
the free-tuning channel and the frequencies may be quickly
changed from the keypad and may be programmed for
simplex or duplex operation,
In Mode 2 the operator can also display the channel frequen-
‘6 on any of the preprogrammed frequencies. If the channel
is programmed for semiduplex operation, the transmit fre-
quency may be displayed. Channel 00 may be programmed
by tine operator, but it will only operate in the receive inode.
In Mode 3 the operator may select any one of the pre-
programmed channel frequencies by entering the channel
number on the keypad. The channel number is shown on
the display.
‘The channel frequencies are permanently retained in
memory using a lithium battery with a life in excess of ten
‘The transceiver circuitry operates at 12 V and is designed
for direct operation from a 12-V vehicio-type battery. The
final amplifier operates directly from the supply sauce (the
transistors have a maximum collecter voltage of 36 V) and is,
protected from voltage surges by a 20-V “TRANSORS". The
transceiver cireuitry is supplied through a 12-V regulator
that maintains full output with almost no input voltage dif-
ferential ithe voltage falls below 12 V, the full available
input voltage will be applied to the excter, which continues
to operate down to 10 V. This system provides safe opera
tion from a 12-V vehicular system, even with poor regule-
ion. An optional internal 115/230-V, 50/60-Hiz 2c supply
ray be fitted for SSB operation. A separate, external heawy-
duty power supply is used for FSK operation. An optional
model is available for 24- to 32-V operation FE Remote control (Optiona’y
‘The transceiver may be fitted with the optional remote con-
trol. The tone (AFSK) remote control provides full control of
the transceiver over a telephone line and is particularly use-
fal when the transceiver cannot be installed at the operating
site,
Fy Antennas
Further information on antennas is provided in Section 4 of
the transceiver technical manual, The transceiver will,
operate correctly into any matched 50-ohm antenna.

‘To get the correct performance from the transceiver itis,
necessary to install the transceiver correctly. This is par-
ticularly important in marine and land mobile installations
‘where poor mounting and power source connections can
! seriously degrade transceiver performance. In every installa
i tion, the antenna system is the key to satisfactory perfor-
; marce, Care should be taken (o ensure that the best possible
antenna, adjusted for low VSWR on each channel, is used.
Most complaints of poor performance can be traced to an us

for the power transformer must be changed in accordance
with the instructions in the diagram of Figure 2-1. The fuse
ould also be changed (115 V3 A, 230 V1.5 A).
, ‘The sransceiver is supplied with a 12-AWG power cable
with a two-pin connector. Connections to the rear panel
should be made as shown in Figure 22. The power source
‘ should apply 136 V at 20 A and the connections should be
‘made fo minimize voltage drop in the cable. Care must be
taken not to reverse the supply polarity. This will cause the
de supply fuse to blow.

Do not operate the transeeiver on the ae supply while connected to
the de power source. This could result in overcharging the battery
or charging at an excessive rate.
EB] 0c Power Connections
‘The power cable should be connected to the battery by the
shortest possible route, Its essential that a low-resistance
‘connection be made to the battery terminals. DO NOT wse
the vehicle body to make the negative ground return, Use
heavy-gauge cable for the wiring (#14 AWG up to 3 meters,
#10 or #12 AWG for longer runs). Make sure that the cable is
clear of the vehicle’s pedals and other moving parts. The
‘able can probably be routed through an existing grommet
in the fire wall and should be kept as far as possible from
the ignition wiring to prevent the pick-up of noise, Ifa new
hole is required in the fire wall, make sure that a grommet is
fitted to prevent chafing of the wire, Remember that a short
in the power cable could cause a fire in the vehicle, High
resistance connections can cause heating and eventually will
arc, which causes another fire hazard and seriously affects
the transceiver performance. It is a good precaution to fit a
[50-A fuse in the positive line at the battery. Figure 2-3 is a
drawing of the de power cable showing the cable's pin con-
nections,

‘The mobile mounts are used to mount the transceiver to the
vehicle. It will frequently be necessary to fabricate sup-
plementary brackets to suit the particular vehicle. After
mounting the transceiver, ensure a low-resistance connec-
tion is made to the frame of the vehicle.
EET Mopite Noise suppression
The engine can cause severe interference in the receiver if
noise suppressors are not fitted. Modem vehicles are some-
times fitted with suppressors and no further attention may
bbe required.
The transceiver should be installed and the receiver checked
for interference to determine if suppressors need to be fitted.
The two main sources of interference are the ignition and
the generator. The components should be fitted in accord-
ance with the directions supplied with the kit. In some
vohicles, noise may still be present, even after étandard
noise suppression methods have been used. Further informa.
tion on mobile noise suppression is beyond the scope of this
‘manual, and it is recommended that reference he made toa
textbook on mobile installation.
BBY tuning Aajustments
‘The transceiver Is completely broadband in both the receiver
and transmitter. This means no retuning is required after in-
stallation or after changing channel frequencies. It is very im-
portant that the antenna system be correctly adjusted to pro-
vide a proper match on all channel frequencies. Refer to the
transceiver technical manual for detailed information on the
antenna system and method of adjustment,
EE wicropnone
Ifthe transceiver has been ordered without a microphone, a
connector will be supplied. The transceiver will operate satis-
factorily with most dynamic, magnetic or ceramic
‘microphones. The microphone input impedance is 150 2,
nominal. The gain of the VOGAD adjusts automatically to
compensate for both microphone output and voice level.

Operation
EEE introduction
‘The transceiver is designed for use by unskilled operators
Normal operation involves only the selection of the comect
channel (or channel frequency), picking the desired mode of
operation and setting the audio-gain control to a comfort-
able listening level. Receive or transmit operation is control
led by the CW key or microphone switch,
All controls, indicators and connectors on the front panel are.
described in Sections 32, 3.3, and 3.4. They are also indi-
cated by numerical call-outs in Figure 3-1. These call-outs
are referenced in the text by numbers in parentheses follow-
ing the section sub-headings. Detailed operating instructions
begin in Section 3.5,

EEE Programming the Free-Tune Channel For
Half-duplex Frequencies
‘When one frequency is entered, the transceiver automat-
ically asstumes that it isa simplex frequency. For half-duplex
‘operating, do the following:
1. Do steps 1 through 4 of section 3.9.1. This programs the
receive frequency.
2. Press the “F” key.
3. Enter the desired transmit frequency.
4. Press the “F’ key. The decimel pointer should now be in
the “transmit” location.
EEE e-Cating the Free-tune Channel
Since the last frequency programmed into the free-tune chan-
nel is stored in memory, itis an easy matter to re-call this
channel.
1. Press the “C” key.
2. Press the “0” key twice. The transceiver is now in the
free-tune mode and the last entered frequency is dis
played.
EBGH Fine tuning the transceiver
‘The UP and DOWN buttons in the front panel permit
tuning of the transceiver frequency up or down from the
original programmed frequency. The following procedures
apply:
1. A single push steps the transceiver 100 Hz. The frequen=
cy can be changed in 100-Hz steps either up or down by
pushing the appropriate button continuously (push, then
release—push, rlease—etc)
310
2. If the button is held down, the frequency steps at a rate
‘of 4 kHz per second.
3. Only the receive frequency can be changed in the above-
mentioned manner. Any change entered is retained only
until the channel is changed. If the channel is changed
and then changed again back to the original channel, the
‘original frequency is once again displayed; any frequen-
oy offset previously put in is forgotten
4. On the free-tune channel (CH0O), itis possible to change
the frequency in memory permanently by pressing the
“F” key after any up/down frequency stepping.
EZ Operation—Scan Mode
The transceiver can scan between 2 and 98 channels when in
the scan mode. To do this, follow this procedure:
1, Program the desired frequencics into the transceiver
starting at channel 01. Use the programming procedure
described in Section 3.6
2 Enter the channel which is one greater than the highest
channel to be scanned.
3. Press the “P” key and hold it down
4. Press the °C” key and release it
5. Release the "=" key
6. Press the “SCAN” key. The sean limit is now set and
retained in memory. Channels will be scanned at the rate
of one every three seconds.
Pressing the “SCAN” key again will initiate the scan se-
quence. To stop the scan sequence, press the “SCAN”
key again.
It is necessary to stop the scan mode to enter new
keypad functions. leery Corry)

brief transmissions on each channel. When both stations be-
come synchronized, they will step together and seek the
channel providing best communications. Following this se-
