| |
| The {{Title|General Radio 1231-B Amplifier and Null Detector}} was introduced in {{Catalog L}} and remained available through {{Catalog P}}.

|
| The Type 1231-B is a combination three stage hi-gain amplifier and dual range null detector. The first stage of the amplifier uses a two step attenuator, the second stage introduces variable gain control, finally the third stage applies tuning filters and amplification. The null detector or voltmeter has two ranges using push-buttons or can be disabled. The panel meter has two scales, voltage and decibels along with a battery check function. The 1231-B is designed for battery operation or AC operation using the Type [[1261-A]] power supply. Regardless of power supply used the amplifier bias supply is provided by "Bias Cells".

|
| |
| A front panel phone jack is available for filters to apply to the amplifier.
| |
| Accessory filters [[1231-P2]] 60 Hz, [[1231-P3]] 400 and 1000 Hz are available to tune the amplifier to those frequencies. The Type [[1231-P5]] variable filter covers 50 Hz to 100 kHz. To adapt the 1231-B for use with a slotted line the Type [[1231-P4]] adjustable attenuator is used for standing-wave ratio measurements. Caution: When using the [[1261-A]] power supply the 1231-A must be switched on and an external switch controlling the power supply.
