General Notes

Note

Allied Radio catalog 1965 (copyright 1964), p. 324. QST, Jan 1965, p. 1. QST, Dec 1965, p. 1. ("A" versions) QST, Apr 1966, p. 1. Specs. QST, Nov 1968, p. 176. The SR-46 shared design features with the SR-42. It covered 6 meters, tuning 50–52 and 52–54 MHz. The SR-46 used 10 tubes rather than the SR-42’s 11. The transmitters in both rigs ran 10–12 watts input. They had an internal 115 VAC supply. A 12 VDC supply was an option. Companion VFO is the HA-26.
