Note

QST, Jun 1954, p. 77. The Ranger was a flexible transmitter/exciter covering the 160-10 bands with a power input of 75 watts CW, 65 watts phone to a 6146 final. The P-P 1614s in Class AB1 provided 100% modulation and could serve as drivers for a high-power amplifier's modulators when the Ranger was used as an exciter. References Adding PTT. CQ, Feb 1957, p. 37. Use with Heath SB-10. CQ, May 1964, p. 41.
