General Notes

Note

QST, Mar 1961, p. 121. (First ad for Clegg.) QST, Jan 1964, p. 135. QST, Mar 1965, p. 121. Initially called the "Climaster Zeus." The driving force behind Clegg designs was Edward T Clegg, W2LOY (also W3 and W8LOY). The Zeus 6 and 2 meter transmitter featured a handsome Eddystone dial and had a power output of 125 watts AM and CW. The transmitter's clipper-filter circuit (called Automatic Modulation Control) gave it additional talk power on AM. The power supply and modulator were housed in a separate cabinet.
