For a brief explanation of SSB Adapters, see SSB Adapters Explained.

PD3 Product Detector / SSB Adapter

This is our original SSB Adapter for the Collins 51J and R-388 series receivers. It provides a high-level single-balanced product detector and a fast-attack slow-return AGC system for SSB. AM operation is unchanged. It was available until November, 2010, when it was replaced by the SB-51.

SB-51 Product Detector / SSB Adapter

$63 US plus shipping.

This is the current SSB adapter for the 51J-3, 51J-4, R-388, and R-388A receivers. The product detector circuit is identical to that in the PD-3. The AGC circuit now uses a separate AGC amplifier for SSB, which provides a better "hang" characteristic. A dual-time-constant circuit resists blocking when impulse noise is present. AM performance is unchanged.

SB-75 Product Detector / SSB Adapter

$61 US plus shipping

Incorporating circuits nearly identical to those in the SB-51, the SB-75 provides excellent SSB performance in the Collins 75A-2 and 75A-3 receivers. As with our other products, AM performance is unchanged. If an NBFM adapter is present in the receiver, its operation is unaffected.

LC-1 Active Probe System

$320 US plus shipping

This is a versatile active probe system for use with oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and other instruments. It places very little load on the circuit being tested, and can be successfully used in high-frequency circuits, high-impedance circuits, tuned circuits and the like where conventional probes would upset circuit operation.

Sales

Please note that our products require some skill and knowledge to install and/or use. We recommend that you follow the link to the Owner's Manual for the product before ordering. The manuals are in pdf format, and about one megabyte.

We sell direct and through eBay. Price and shipping are the same either way. Payment through PayPal to radio@treetopcircuits.com is preferred; please contact us if you want to use another method.

We ship within three business days of payment, via Canada Post, which takes 4-10 business days (occasionally longer). Be advised that tracking is not provided outside Canada. Other services are a bit faster, and provide tracking, but are much more expensive and may bill you for brokerage.
