INSTRUCTIONS FOR TROUBLE SHOOTING

How to Detect and Remedy the Open Circuit, Short Circuit and Leakage. Radio circuits are subject to the same Ills that the ordinary power circuits are subject to. However, to cure them Is not such a difficult task as might be supposed, especially If some logical procedure la used. If a receiver 1s well put together to the fir* place and all contact* and other parts gone over once to a while, there Is no reason why there should be nay trouble. But the human being Is prone to err. so that for the “once to a while” that Is liable to happen, this article will be devoted to the explanation of what might happen to u simple receiver and the best way to Ox It. The usual troubles of the receiver fall under one of the following three

When the tips are held open the drcult Is “open” and tbe light will go oot.

TIP# TO THE RADIOIST The higher the aerial the stronger the signals. An increase of five to ten feet in the height of the flat top aerial will Increase signals. Addition of a variable condense. to the secondary or to the primary of a loose coupler often helps to tune out the undesired signals. The sliders on tuning colls often make poor contacts with the slide rod. Thus much of the signal strength Is lost You can overcome this by soldering a flexible wire to the slider. Increase length of spreaders of two, three or four-wire aerials from six to ten feet for best results. Each wire should be from four to six feet from its neighbor. Two wires one or two feet apart are no better than one wire. Likewise four wires oo short spreaders are no better than one wire.

Should It appear that there Is an opes circuit to the cord, short circuit both receive** where the cord enters the case and with a buzzer or lamp connected to the tips on the end of the cord te* for an open circuit. Care should be exercised by the operator when adjusting a crystal detector to see that his fingers do not touch the surface of tbe crystal or the contact point of the little spring. The secret!oo that exists to the ska together with the dust' th* !t collects render's crystal detector Inoperative by the Insulating (11m that It will cause to form on the portion of the cry stal surface that Is touched. Should the surface of the crystal get dirty as evidenced by the received signals becoming weaker and weaker, try cleaning the crystal with alcohol and a little brush. Or If this does not seem to remedy the trouble, chip off old oarface so that an entirely oew surface Is presented to the spring.

HOW TO GROUND AN AERIAL If Preparly Done It Rosily Protects

Generally speaking, serials do a* attract lightning, but they do store up atmospherical electricity, and. of course, this condition does create c hazard. However, when the serial Is properly grounded It thro acts a# a lightning rod and really protects !bo property from this electrical hazard.
