General Notes

Note

QST, Jun 1950, p. 107. Walter Ashe catalog, 1954, p. 8. "R" version is for low impedance applications. The 382 and 382R, probably released in 1953, are updated versions of the 381(R). Outwardly, the two are nearly identical, except that the cabinet of the 382 is about an inch and a half longer. The added length was necessary to accommodate some circuit changes including Note the absence of the 15 meter band, as it was not allocated until 1952.
