Two top notch BA rigs for 160 are the Viking Ranger and the Viking Valiant. Their keying is excellent! They both utilize vacuum tube keying via a 12AU7 keyer tube. The keying bias is adjustable with a potentiometer on the chassis top. I used a Valiant from 1959 to 1963 and its CW note was great. It puts out 150 to 200 watts on CW, and is light years ahead of the Heath DX-100. 73, John, W4NU _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list Topband@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/topband |
