Virtually indistinguishable from the HF 10-20 converter. The RME VHF-152A was a tunable converter covering 2, 6, and 10 meters. The bands were calibrated to cover the full sweep of the semi-circular dial. It had a built-in, voltage-regulated power supply. The VHF-152A used a 6AK5 RF amp and 6J6 oscillator-mixer. The IF output frequency was 7 MHz; $86.50.
