FROM
Chief, Telecommunications, Training & Techniques Staff, OC
SUBJECT: DC-DC Converter . PS-8
1. It is requested that arrangements be made for the fabrication of 50 each
transistorized DC-DC converters (PS-8), which will permit utilization of the
variety of receivers from conventional 6 and 12 volt DC 50X1
supplies.
/ 2. The converter should be comparable in size, in so far as possible, to
'the P6-4 presently being used to supply operating voltages to the from the 50X1
AS-3 system. It is desired that the converter be designed to connect directly
to the receiver(s) power receptacle and that its input cable include provision
for connection to batteries as well as adaptation to the AS-3 system. Adaptation
of the converter to the AS-3 system could possibly be accomplished through the
means of a special adaptor/connector. The thinking behind this input connection
arrangement is based on the opinion that the greatest operational application of
the PS-8 will be in the supplying of operating voltages to Agent type receivers
for monitoring purposes. Projects or activities interested in utilizing the
P6-8 in connection with the AS-3 system could. be furnished with the aforementioned
adaptor/connector.
3. In addition to the requirement set forth in para 1, it is requested that
the feasibility of the adpator/connector proposal be investigated with fabrication
costs based on the need for 25 units.

? 1. It is requested thaft arrangements be made for the fabrication of 50 each
transigtarized name (70-8), labia will perid.t utilization of the
verpitty of receivers fro* conventional 6 and. 12 volt DC 50X1
supplies.
2. The converter should be comparable in size, in so far as woesible, to
that re-4 presently being used to supp3.y operating voltages to the _fro* the 50X1
A8-3 system. It is desired that the converter be designed to colmect directly
to the receiver(s) powr receptacle and that its input cable include provision
for connection to batteries as eel as adaptation to the AS-3 system. Adaptation
of the converter to the AB.3 system could. possibly be accomplished through the
aura of a special adaptor/connector. The thinking behind this input connection
arrangement is based on the opinion that the greatest operational application of
the re-8 will be in the supplying of operating voltages to Agent type miniver'
for monitoring purposes. Projects or activities interested, in utilising the
P8-8 in connection with the A8-3 systen eould, be furnished with the aforementioned
adaptor/connector.
3. In addition to the requirement set forth in para 3.# it is requested that
the feasibility of the tapes:tic:on:actor prorposal be investigated with fabrication
