Allied Radio catalog 1960 (copyright 1959), p. 389. Johnson’s 40-watt Navigator was designed as a CW transmitter/exciter for the 160–10 meter bands. It featured timed sequence keying to eliminate clicks and chirps without giving up the break-in advantages of a keyed VFO. The Navigator used a 6146 PA. Kit or wired. References Review.
