[AMRadio] Source Broadcast Xmtrs

[rbethman]

The frequency response is MORE than adequate for the human voice.

The audio input transformer is rated from 400cps to 3500cps.

There are pictures of AFRS in early days being operated with BC-610s.  
You have missed history! (Europe and Korea.)

They also had an additional trailer to go up to 5KW output.

I'll leave it at that.........
