General Notes

Note

QST, Jan 1979, p. 191. QST, Feb 1980, p. 146. (close out) The solid-state Atlas RX-110 receiver covered 80-10 meters and received the "normal" sideband only on each band. It had a built-in speaker and AC supply. Adding the TX-110 transmitter module turned the RX-110 into a CW and SSB transceiver. The receiver's VFO was used for frequency control. The transmitter came in two models: low power (15 watts input) and high power (200 watts). The RX-110 was $229.00; TX-11OH $249.00; TX-110L; $159.00. Further development of the RX-110 receiver saw the addition of an RF gain control, RIT, and a CW filter, resulting the "Special"; $299.00.
