Emcom FC-4001

The "4001" is named for the postal code for Durban. A later model, the 8002, was twice as good.

Serial Number 01028. Rated for 10W output. This one is a low band VHF transceiver but I'm sure they would have been available in high band VHF versions as well.

The radio was used as a data link, since it came with a data cable and a plug in the back to disable the speaker.

The actual design seems fairly mundane. A 10.7 MHz first IF stage, a 10.245 MHz crystal, a 455 kHz second IF stage. It looks as if the main PCB has provision for a low-power RF output stage, or alternatively this daughterboard can be used:

The output transistor is a 2N5591 which is good for 30 Watts.

Here it gets interesting. The label on top of the radio says "6M Rig connections" but the crystals are marked as "68.900R" and "75.750T". These are not 6m frequencies, so I'm guessing the crystals were liberated from a different rig. The true crystal frequencies of 39.800 MHz and 6.3125 MHz are also indicated, implying:

Rx frequency = Rx crystal * 2 - 10.7 : 39.800 * 2 - 10.700 = 68.900 MHz
Tx frequency = Tx crystal * 12       : 6.3125 * 12         = 75.750 MHz

Rx frequency = Rx crystal + 10.7 : 39.800 + 10.700 = 50.500 MHz
Tx frequency = Tx crystal * 8    : 6.3125 * 8      = 50.500 MHz
