[Amps] OT: Anyone know of any RF Speech Processor Kits?

[Osten B Magnusson]

Hello Ken!

Back in the seventies "DX-engineering" made some
REAL RF-clippers for Collins and Drake with mechanical
filter, they are no longer in business but maybe you can 
find a circuit diagram!

I am old too, licensed 1962...
