PF8 Manual - NOT amateur radio

Many will remember this famous transceiver from the 1980s. It was made famous by featuring in the TV series "The Professionals". A copy of the PF8 service manual is available here.

Hi Roger,
I see no mention of the internal antenna, was that always kept secret?
I used to work on the blue Burndept radios, also seen on TV.
I forgot the complexity we used to work to in those early days!

No Ken - antenna was not secret! It was my "baby" and was remarkably effective. I worked mainly on the design of the antenna and TX audio. Interesting that you were at Burndept. When I started we used Marconi 995 signal generators - they were moderately stable after about 2 hours!!
