All this talk about 2m AM has me remembering that I have a Navy, VHF transmitter. Don't remember the nomenclature on it, but it was like a mini T-368, with three drawers; Top) Final (with (3) 3E29's in it) Middle) modulator, with p-p 807's Bottom) power supply. It's available, if anyone is curious enough to have it. I'd say a good 100w output. I'll be out of pocket for the next week. Plan a trip to South Texas to get it. 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR
