From the announcement:
A rugged new transceiver should be very useful for groups needing emergency transceiver facilities. The Kaar Electronics Corporation has introduced an all-solid-state SSB/CW transceiver for shoulder-pack or fixed location communications work. Rated at 10 watts PEP, the transceiver can be operated from D-size heavy-duty cells, from a 12-volt dc car or battery system, or through an adapter from an ac power line. Receive and transmit frequencies are crystal-controlled in the 20, 40, 80 or 160 meter bands.
