Ed - Not sure if you've gotten any info yet, but I'm happy to share the little I know. General RadioTelephone (I'm guessing that's who you mean) made very nice 2-ways gear for the 11 meter and business band services in the 60s-70s. They were the left coast equivalent of, or along the lines of Browning and Tram from NH. Hand-wired, US-made, quality components and so on. They also made a few accessories like these SWR bridges, which I'd 'guess' would work well on HF but may be more specific or at least accurate in the higher regions of HF. Info is out there, but not plentiful. I'm not aware that they made anything beyond 2-way gear, but it's possible. Hope this helps - de Todd/'Boomer' KA1KAQ
