QST, Jul 1955, p. 119. Allied Radio catalog 1956 (copyright 1955), p. 201. QST, Mar 1956, p. 113. (SSB-100A) QST, Jun 1956, p. 121. (good photo) The SSB-100 covered the phone portions of the 75, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meter bands. The phasing-type transmitter worked AM and CW as well as SSB. A front panel oscilloscope monitored the linearity of audio and RF stages. The SSB-100 also included a VOX circuit. Input power was 100 watts SSB, 60 watts AM and CW. It was succeeded by the SSB-100F, which used a crystal lattice filter at 413kHz to generate sideband. References Review: CQ, Jun 1955, p. 16. Brief technical description. Radio News, Oct 1955, p. 69.
