Hunter Manufacturing was located in Iowa City and Des Moines, IA and they
were a fixture at Midwest hamfests when I was living in the Chicago area.
The 2000C was a kit that had construction and instructions as good as
Heathkit. Ive never heard of them associated with the CB outfit in Nebraska.
I Have heard unconfirmed stories that WRL/Globe from Council Bluffs were
involved in the CB market thru "associates" That would make some sense as
they were big users of sweep tubes including a 10 hole "2000W PEP ham amp"
This was rather unique as the tube output load was 50 Ohms and their tank
circuit was a coupling capacitor to the antenna. What a gem!
