IN 1954 I had the Walter Ashe Radio kit which comprised a 2-triode regenerative receiver [6SN7] , a 6AG7 - 6L6 rockbound transmitter on 40 and 80, and a single power supply with a 2-position switch. [That's called T-R switching!]
The whole station cost aboot $50 and I really liked it. But I liked the NC-57 which I got next better, and then the HRO-5 better yet. But I had to use a BC-453 command set tuned to the IF as a back end to get enough overall gain to hear the noise. Ah, the good old days. [But I won't try to tell you it was better than the K3! NOTHING is better than the K3.] eric VA7DZ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
