[ARC5] GO Transmitters?

[Bob Macklin]

Last night thanks to Google I did find the info I was looking for.

What I had in 58 was a GP-7. I did find a page with data on it.

I have a photo of a GP-7 in the back seat of a SBD (I think). And I think I have a photo of a GO something in a PBY

I gather these things don't show up on eBay much if at all.

  Bob,

  I didn't see anyone else reply so I will.  The GO-9 is in the sense I'm thinking of worse than the GP-7 in that virtually all hams and/or collectors (including me for many years) think those two models are unique.  I do have information on the GP-6a and GP-6 as well as GP-7 and know of or have heard of people actually having a GP-6 and I think it was a GP-2.  But I have never heard of a GO earlier than a GO-9 turning up nor have I ever seen nor heard rumours of anyone having an earlier manual.  So if you have anything earlier than a GO-9 you are probably out of luck manual wise.

  I do have a GO-9 manual and sell hard copy reprints of it.  $23.20 plus $3.50 shipping CONUS and US Territories.

  One other thing, gleaned from SHIPS 242A.  The manufacturer and basic specs (output power and frequency coverage) of the GO-7 and GO-8 are the same as for the GO-9.  So the GO-9 manual would probably be useful to at least some degree.

    Is there any place to find the documentation on the GO series of transmitters?

    I got one from USAF MARS in 1957.
