QST, Nov 1954, p. 125. QST, Jul 1955, p. 115. QST, May 1956, p. 156. The Elenco 77 was a 160–10 meter band-switching SSB transmitter. It had built-in VFO and VOX circuits. A crystal lattice filter was used in the sideband generator. PEP output was 100 watts. The Elenco 77 also transmitted AM and CW. The VFO covered a 200 kHz segment of each band. Full coverage of 10 meters was obtained with separate mixer crystals. References Brief technical description. Radio News, Oct 1955, p. 70.
