[TenTec] Pan-Adaptor vs. Using BandMap with Ten-Tec Transceivers

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

I had a Heathkit HO-10 with my twoer.

Seriously I did have the HO-10 and used it to make sure my SSB transmitter
was properly tuned.
Most people did that back then.

And indeed I loved my lunchbox!

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!
