General Notes

Note

QST, Apr 1974, p. 109. QST, Jan 1975, p. 127. QST, Mar 1976, p. 81. Clegg's 2 meter FM hand held transceiver covered 144-148MHz and had 5 crystal-controlled channels. Power output was 2 watts. Features a battery saver design that results in less than 5-mA standby current drain while the high reliability battery offers up to 4 or 5 years of life under normal use. The new HT.146 also features a single-conversion receiver, a monolithic crystal filter, and solid state TIR switching. Plug-in crystals make channel change easy. Jacks for external microphone, speaker, and earphone are included along with BNC antenna connector. One of the HT's is shown in its charging stand, which bears the logo of ISC, Clegg's parent company at the time.
