The Continental Six transmitting converter was based on a K4RLX design.(See August 1961 VHF magazine,) It was sold by Continental Electronics of Sumter, South Carolina. It was driven by an exciter's 20 meter output. Six meter power output from the Continental Six was 30 watts PEP SSB, with reduced output on AM.
Features:
– Uses minimum of operating adjustments when changing frequency.
– Low drive requirements—Can be driven by any AM or SSB exciter with 20 meter output, such as 20-A, 10-B, DX-35, HT-37, KWM-2, etc.
– Power Requirements: 400 volts @ 75 mils, 150 volts regulated, 6.3 volts filaments.
– 30 Watts PEP SSB, reduced output on AM.
– Horizontal meter reads PA plate and relative RF output.
– Extremely high "Q" circuit, high stability, excellent shielding and straightforward design to provide many hours of trouble-free operation.
