Have the rules changed? Such a transceiver used to be illegal, i.e.
not type-accepted. Has the ARRL "endorsed" an illegal transceiver?
Details, please.

## I don't know if it's still made or not Bill. It was written up a few yrs
back in the
arrl lab /qst.. 'recent reviews' . It came in 2 x versions... 25 w pep.. and
150w pep.
Ran on 12 vdc. Now who else besides RTTY ops use LSB on 10/12M ??
## It was marketed as a ... " 10 + 12m" amateur radio xcvr....that would TX
on both
10m.. and also 12m. It would ALSO RX, continuously from 24-30 mhz [ and
I think it was
as high as 32 mhz].
## of course, it took all of 3 x secs to cut the green wire.. and then it
would TX from
24-32 mhz. And it was type accepted. QST gave it glowing reports. It has
lousy TX
IMD... but it was relatively cheap to buy. I think the 150w version was
another $100-$150
more than the 25 w version. It was clearly marketed to the 11m crowd.
later.. Jim VE7RF
