from 1960 handbook page 253.

tube is a 6c4 triode.

left to right.
input can be a coax T connector from transmit output Teed to antenna.
rf from xmiter triggers circuit.

input is 47mmfd in series with shielded input line (coax).
goes to pin 6 of tube with 1 meg half watt to ground.

pins 3 and 4 are 6.3 volt fil

pin 7 cathode 520 ohm 1/2 watt to ground
pin7 .01 mfd in series to shielded coax to recvr ant input.

pin 1 and 5 are plate has .01 mfd to ground and 2,.2k 1/2 watt to 150 to 250 volts dc plate voltage.

the 6c4 acts as a cathode follower amp to the antenna signal on recieve.
on transmit the rf cuts off the 6c4 so no signal to the reciever.

next page has a circuit with a 6ah6 ...

can copy and send both . if you cant draw from above description.

don. call sign at aol...
