Operates CW and NFBM (phase modulated) on all bands. Two band operation from one coil set. 40 and 20 meter coil provided. Includes a built-in VFO or crystal control. Plugging in a crystal overrides the VFO.
The "VXF" control can be used to pull the crystal frequency to some extent--from about 30 kHz at 80 meters, to 480 kHz at six meters. Sonar referred to this saying the the VFX will "rubberize" any crystal cut.
Includes a front panel monitor output jack for both CW and NBFM output. External relay control provided for remote operation.
CW and break-in operation permitted on the same frequency without shutting off the oscillator.
Use with any crystal or dynamic mic with an output between –48 and –52 db.
Deviation indicator is a "magic eye" tube.
Front panel is gray enamel with red and white lettering.
Tubes: Eight including VR and rectifier.
The VFO operates 1565 to 2000 kHz
Coverage: 80 trhough 6 meters
Output: 4 to 6 watts on all bands except six meters.
Power: 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz
