[ARC5] GO Transmitters?

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Bob,

I thought that you had a transmitter.  Had I read you msg more carefully 
(or been awake!) I would probably have figured you didn't still have it 54 
years later.  :-)  FWIW, I also have the (a) GP-6, 6a & 7 manual and two or 
three different TBW ones.

I've had, over the years, two or three GP-7 sets.  Last one is now 
operational (or was) in the hands of another list member.  But I have never had any 
GO stuff.
