[TowerTalk] Dipping with 259B and such

[Kenneth Hirschberg]

Yes! or the Measurements corp. (Boonton) Model 59, or the
PRM-10, the Navy version.  They are all basically
 the same, using a real acorn tube osc. and going up
 to 400+ MHz.  Vert sensitive, and a joy to use.
Handle one of these once, and the modern transistor
version will begin to gather dust from that day forward.
73, Ken
