Steve,
Back then, I started with a Twoer too, but added the converter/receiver
and just transmitted with the Twoer. The Twoer's had very good audio
punch, for a low power rig.
I was at Westover AFB, Mass at the time and needed some selectivity.
Also added a Cushcraft 16 element collinear on the roof of the barracks.
Fun days...
Art

Transceivers
When I worked 2 Meter AM in the 1960s, I normally used a Heath Twoer.
No need for a panadapter with one of those!

You are right, no one needs a panadapter, but it can be handy..
My only use of one was in the mid 60's, on 2 meter AM. I had a
Heathkit panadaptor attached to my converter-receiver setup.
In those days we were usually rock bound for transmit and after
calling CQ you had to tune around for a reply. The panadaptor made all
of this much easier.
