QST, Apr 1955, p. 99. QST, Oct 1955, p. 93. (a version made for 6 meters) QST, Jul 1956, p. 99. The Gonset 3063 two meter linear amplifier increased the carrier output of the Communicator to 50–60 watts. It matched the Communicator in style and size and could be driven by other low-power 2 meter transmitters as well. It used push-pull 826 triodes. New versions (3211, 2 meters, and 3212, 6 meters) in "alpine white" with knobs in "gun metal blue" announced in September, 1957. See QST, Sep 1957, p. 101.
