The Huracan HR-07-NZ is designed to work
on any 12 - 14.1 volt DC, negative ground,
source. The condition of a vehicle’s electrical
system can affect operation. A low battery,
worn generator/alternator, or poor voltage
regulator will seriously impair the performance
of the transceiver. Any of the above conditions
could result in a high level of receiver noise
generation or a substantial loss of the
transmitter’s RF output.

microphone two inches from the mouth and speak clearly in a normal “ voice

ALTERANIVE MICROPHONES:
The Radio come complete with low impedance (500 ohms) dynamic microphone.
For best results, the user should select a low-impedance dynamic type microphone or a
transistorized microphone. Transistorized type microphones have a low output impedance
characteristic.The microphones must be provided with a four-lead cable. The audio conductor and
its shielded lead comprise two of the leads. The fourth lead is for receive control, and the third is
for transmit control. The microphone should provide the functions shown in FIG. 1 of the
microphone wiring schematic.If the microphone to be used is provided with per-cut leads, they
must be received as follows.
Cut leads so that they extend 7/16” beyond the plastic insulating jacket of the microphone cable.
All leads should be cut to the same length. Strip the ends of each wire 1/8” and tin the exposed
wire.Before beginning the actual wiring read carefully, the circuit and wiring information provided
with the microphone you select. Use the minimum head required in soldering the connections.
Keep the exposed wire lengths to a minimum to avoid shorting when the microphone plug is
reassembled.
MICROPHONE PLUG REASSEMBLING:

1. Remove the retaining screw.

2. Unscrew the housing from the pin receptacle body.

3. Loosen the two cable clamp retainer screws.

4. Feed the microphone cable though the housing, knurled ring and washer
shown in FIG. 3.

5. The wires must now be soldered to the pins as indicated in the FIG. 1, wiring tables. If a vise
or clamping tool is available, it should be used to hold the pin receptacle body during the
soldering operation, so that both hands are free to perform the soldering. If a vise or clamping
tool is not available, the pin receptacle body can beheld in a stationary position by inserting it
into the microphone jack of the front panel. The numbers of the pins of the microphone plug
are shown in FIG. 2, as viewed from the back of the plug. Before soldering the wire to the
pins, per-tin the wire receptacle of each pin of the plug.
Be sure that the housing and the knurled ring of FIG. 3 are pushed back onto the
microphone cable before starting to solder. If the washer is not captive to the pin
receptacle body, make sure that it is placed on the threaded portion of the pin receptacle
body before soldering.If the microphone jack is used to hold the pin receptacle during the
soldering operation,best results are obtained when the connections to pins 1 and 3 are made first
and then the connections to pins 2, 4 and 5. Use a minimum amount of solder and be careful to
prevent excessive solder accumulation on pins, which could cause a short between the pin
and the microphone plug housing.

6. When all soldering connections to the pins of the microphone plug are complete, push
the knurled ring and the housing forward and screw the housing onto the threaded
portion of the pin receptacle body. Note the location of the screw clearance hole in the
plug housing with respect to the threaded hole in the pin receptacle body.When the
housing is completely threaded into the pin receptacle body, a final fraction of a turn
either clockwise or counter clockwise may be required to align the screw hole with the
threaded hole in the pin receptacle body. When these are aligned, the retaining screw
is then screwed into the place to secure the housing to the pin receptacle body

7. The two cable clamp retainer screws should now be tightened to secure the housing to the
microphone cord. If the cutting directions have been carefully followed, the cable clamp
should secure to the insulating jacket of the microphone cable.Upon completion of the
microphone plug wiring, connect and secure the microphone plug in the transceiver.
Receiving SSB Signals
There are four types of signals presently used for communications in an Amateur band: AM, FM,
USB and LSB. When the MODE switch on your unit is placed in the AM position, only standard
double sideband and in FM position, only frequency deviation, full carrier signals will be detected.
An SSB signal may be recognized while in the AM or FM mode by its characteristic “ Donald Duck
“ sound and the inability of the AM or FM detector to produce an intelligible output, the USB and
LSB modes will detect upper sideband and lower sideband respectively , and standard AM signals
SSB reception differs from standard AM reception in that SSB receiver does not require a carrier
or opposite sideband to produce an intelligible signal. A signal-sideband transmitted signal
consists only of the upper or the lower sideband and no carrier is transmitted. The elimination of
the carrier from the AM signal helps to eliminate the biggest cause of whistles and tones heard on
channels which make even moderately strong AM signals unreadable.The reduction in channel
space required also helps in the receiver because only half of the noise and interference can be
received with 100% of the SSB signal.
An SSB signal may be received only when the listening receiver is functioning in the same mode.
In other words, an upper sideband signal (USB) may be made intelligible only if the receiver is
functioning in the USB position. If the lower sideband (LSB) signal is heard when the receiver is in
the USB mode, no amount of tuning will make the signal intelligible.
The reason for this may be understood if you consider that when modulation is applied to the
transmitter’s microphone in the USB mode, the transmitter’s output frequency is increased
whereas in the LSB mode the transmitter’s output frequency is decreased. The result in listening
the receiver is that when the MODE switch is in the proper position either USB or LSB.
A true reproduction of signal tone of modulation will result, and if the tone is increased in
frequency such as a low pitched whistle will caused a high-pitched whistle you will hear the
increase in the output tone of the receiver. If the incorrect mode is selected, an increase in tone of
a whistle applied to the transmitter will cause a decrease in the resultant tone from the receiver.
Thus when a voice is used in place of a whistle or tone, in the proper listening mode the voice will
be received correctly whereas in the incorrect mode, the voice will be translated backwards and
cannot be made intelligible by the voice lock control. When listening to an AM transmission, a
correct sideband is heard in either mode since both upper and lower sideband is received.
Once the desired SSB mode has been selected, frequency adjustment may be necessary in order
to make the incoming signal intelligible, the CLARIFIER control allows the operator to vary
frequency above and below the exact-center frequency of the received signal. If the sound of the
incoming signal is high or low pitched, adjust the operation of the CLARIFIER. Consider it as
performing the same function as a phonograph speed control. When the speed is set to high,
voices will be high-pitched and if set too low, voices will be low-pitched. Also, there is only one
correct speed that will make a particular record produce the same sound that was recorded. If the
record is played on a turntable that rotated in the wrong direction (opposite sideband) no amount
of speed control (CLARIFIER) will produce an intelligible sound.
An AM signal received while listening in one of the SSB modes will produce a steady tone (carrier)
in addition to the intelligence, unless the SSB receiver tuned to exactly the same frequency by the
Clarifier control. For simplicity it is recommended that the AM modes be used to listen to AM
signals.
