QST, May 1973, p. 169. QST, Sep 1973, p. 141. (good photo) QST, Feb 1974, p. 129. QST, Feb 1975, p. 113. QST, Jan 1976, p. 103. (includes 200T) QST, Apr 1976, p. 95. QST, Dec 1977, p. 127. ("year end close-out") (200 and 200T) The GTX-200 transmitter used true FM rather than phase modulation. The 10-channel transmit 10-channel receive two meter transceiver had 30 watts output with a 1 watt low power position. The GTX-200, with independent selection of 10 transmit and 10 receive frequencies, offers 100 possible channel combinations. A switch for lock-in of preselected frequency pairs allows simple one-knob operation when desired. High sensitivity is assured by incorporation of a dual-gate MOSFET in the receiver front-end. An external speaker jack is provided on the rear panel.
