General Notes

Note

Allied Radio catalog 1970 (copyright 1969), p. 169. One of a number of amplifiers sold in the 1960s, ostensibly for 10 meters or the "business band," but clearly with the CB market in mind. And to make sure CB users got the point, many of the ads said the amplifiers were illegal to use on the Citizens Band. Also available in a 60 watt mobile version.
