General Notes

Note

QST, Mar 1955, p. 138. Separate models for 6 and 2 meters. Lettine Radio Mfg. Co. of Valley Stream, New York ran ham magazine ads for their 240-or 260-series transmitters and accessories during the 1950s and '60s. Even though the content changed, the ads maintained a consistent appearance from month to month. The Model 242 was a 45 watt AM and CW transmitter for 6 and 2 meters. It used plug-in coils and had a 6146 final.
