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.
