I'm up to the early 70s so far and I have just added the advent of Solid State Transceivers to the list, using the 505 Argonaut and the Triton I and Triton II as examples.  I'm a little fuzzy on things more modern than that.  Obviously I should include things like digital modes and software-defined radios.  What would you folks suggest I should include, and can you cite any Ten-Tec or other gear that would illustrate the particular advance?

Jim,
	Looking back through the years, after solid state radios, the next big 
step was phase-lock loop circuits. After phase lock loop circuits the 
next big step was DSP, digital signal processing. With DSP you could 
break that into sections with AF signal processing and IF signal processing.

	Does this answer your question?

	Let me know if I can help,  73'S
