Continental's Type 415B 5,000 watt short wave broadcast transmitter is designed for operation in the international short wave broadcast band. It utilizes Continental's field-proven screen modulation system which makes possible an excellent degree of performance while maintaining high overall efficiency.
Freqeuncy change within the specified range of 3 to 30 megacycles is accomplished through use of plug-in coils in the final amplifier. The Type 415B is also available for continuous coverage operation.
The Type 415B/416B are identical with the exception of an additional power amplifier tube and its associated filament and plate transformer used in the Type 416B 10,000 watt transmitter.
Silicon rectifiers are used in the HV power supply for maximum reliability and minimum maintenance.
