Hello Bill,<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The rig was my own design based on an article by Guy Gillet, ON5FE, published in QST, Jan 1970. (Editor’s Note: ON5FE’s article also appears in the 1970 edition of the ARRL’s book “Single Sideband for the Radio Amateur.”)<\/i> His article had some features I wanted and became the guts of the transceiver I finally came up with\u2026 The rig took me some 2-4 years to complete mainly because I keep changing circuits and improving performance. For example, I started with a 4 digit counter using nixie tubes and ended up with 7 digit 7 segment LED counter summing the BFO, VFO and HFO. I also later added the keyer and CW audio filter and so on\u2026..<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Other than the outer cabinet from LMB, I did all the metal work complements of the metal shop at our lab at CDC\u2019s advanced design lab.<\/b><\/div>\n

Pictures show bottom with RF bottom plate installed and bottom view of RF section with plate removed. Front panel and picture of top cover open showing the plugin PCB\u2019s. Cannot see the digital counter display board in any of the pictures.<\/b><\/div>\n

Here are a couple pictures of the old girl. I\u2019ve added a description of the rigs features:<\/b><\/div>\n
