He is a true radio wizard, from tube to SDR, Pete has built them all, quite amazing!! Ed KC8SBV
Amazing! Not only has he combined Solid State with Thermatron circuitry, but Pete has managed to assemble a virtual smorgasbord of construction techniques! If anyone could include waveguide in there, I’m sure Pete would have done it.
Very nice construction! Pretty cool, solid state final and other stages with tubes. As usual, well done Pete! 73 Wes W4JYK
