General Notes

Note

Radio News, Oct 1957, p. 152. CQ, Mar 1958, p. 168. QST, Nov 1958 p. 207. QST, Jan 1961, p. 176. R-100A QST, Nov 1962, p. 176. Kit only. Not actually referred to as the R-100 until Allied's 1960 catalog. Prior to 1960 it was called the model Y-726, which was actually part of the catalog number for the product. In 1962, Allied restyled the R-100 receiver to match their new Knight-Kit T-150 transmitter. The front-panel antenna trimmer was moved and labeled but, electrically, the nine-tube R-100A differed little from its predecessor. Accessories include a speaker (cat no. Y-728), an S-meter kit (cat no, Y-727), and a 100 kHz crystal calibrator (cat no. Y-256). References Review. Popular Electronics, Sep 1958, p. 71.
