General Notes

Note

QST, Jul 1960, p. 113. Allied Radio catalog 1962 (copyright 1961), p. 280. QST, May 1962, p. 103. Allied Radio catalog 1963 (copyright 1962), p. 285. Gonset's mobile transmitter/receiver ran 100 watts input AM and 120 watts CW on 80-6 meters. The transmitter and receiver had separate VFOs, and the transmitter was limited to crystal-controlled operation on 6 meters. Its final amplifier was a 6005 with a pi-network. The G-76's receiver was double conversion with IFs at 2065 and 262 kHz. It had a separate transistorized 12 VOC power supply for mobile operation and a combination 117 VAC power supply/speaker cabinet for home use. References Review: CQ, Nov 1961, p. 64.
