Noble NR-4SC 70Mhz USB/CW Transciever


The NR-4SC is a simple to use 15 Watt (nominal) 4
Meter SSB/ CW transceiver. The radio operates USB
and CW. The NR-4SC uses a single conversion design
with an IF frequency of 10.7 MHz. Front end band pass
filters limit out of band signals into the RF Preamp
stage. A double balanced diode ring mixer provides
good strong signal handling capability. There are two 8
pole crystal filters following the mixer which are
designed for 3.0 kHz and 500 Hz -6dB bandwidths. The
3 kHz filter allows for good SSB voice fidelity while the
500 Hz filter provides good adjacent channel rejection
on CW. Either filter can be selected in both modes. Two
IF amplifier stages and fast attack AGC provide good
receiver sensitivity while levelling the audio output on
strong signals. AGC action starts at approximately a
-120 dBm input signal level. The local oscillator is
derived from a DDS/PLL circuit providing a high degree
of stability and low noise. A high stability 107.374 MHz
reference oscillator is used for all local oscillator
generation. The high frequency provides low DDS
spurious output. The transceiver offers a 10.7MHz IF out
on the back panel for connection to an SDR so it may be
used with a PC for a Spectral Display. Other features of
the NR-4SC include RIT (Receiver Incremental Tuning)
and SPLIT mode functions as well as a built in Iambic
Keyer for CW. The AGC rate has a FAST and SLOW
speed to suit operator preference.
