These devices were sometimes called Fetron's. We used them in 43A carrier units in the Telephone Central office in the early 70's to replace vacuum tubes. They were 7 pin devices in metal cans and one version as I recall worked well as a replacement for a 6BH6 tube in the first IF of a GE progress

2004-01-26 Thread John J. Riddell
Any antenna tuner will work just fine as a Z Matcher such as the various units made by MFJ. These even come with meters. Building one is really easy but if you're not inclined that way get one of the commercial units John J. Riddell, VE3AMZ451 Cedarcliffe Dr.,Waterloo, Ontario

Lee, When the GE Mastr 11 first came out, we had one here for the VE3RSO repeater and at that time (1975) there was NO Z matcher included ! After much haggling GE supplies one to us as an add-on product. If I remember right it was made by Db Products. John VE3AMZ Waterloo Ont. -

Ian, any simple antenna tuner will work, or you could use one of the commercial units such as MFJ etc. I used a home brew unit on our local repeater amp several years ago and it stopped the terrible spurs that were going up and down the band. The amp was a Mirage 120 watt repeater unit and I
