The Allied A-2517 covers the range from 3.5 to 29.7 MHz in seven
band-switched ranges. The transceiver features a solid-state VFO circuit with a linear tuning system that permits accurate readings to 1 kHz on all bands.
The transceiver has built-in sidetone, VOX ,PTT, fast or slow AGC, 25-kHz crystal calibrator, receiver incremental tuning, and sharp cutoff crystal filters, including a 500-Hz filter for CW work.
Power input is 160 watts from 3.5 to 21 MHz, and 120 watts on 10 meters.
Carrier and sideband suppression are rated at –40 dB. Receiver sensitivity is 0.5 uV for 10 dB signal-to-noise ratio (3.5 to 21 MHz, 1.5 uV on 28 MHz). Selectivity on SSB is 2.4 kHz at –6 dB, 4.8 kHz at –60 dB. On CW, the selectivity is 500 Hz at –6 dB and 1.5 kHz at –60 dB.
The A-2518 matching speaker/AC power supply is $99.95. A matching external solid-state VFO, the model A-2519, provides increased versatility by allowing transmit and receive operation on different frequencies; price is $89.95.
