Thank you kindly, John.
Truth told- I don't remember.  I don't remember where I got a whole
lot of my stuff.  Old age I guess.  It either came from a hamfest 
table,
and estate or an Ebay sale.  Guess that about covers the bases LOL.

And thank you, Nick and Sandy for that great info!

In fact, I think I have a Meissner-made MA-4A here somewhere.
It has battery leakage damage but is recoverable.
IIRC, it has a silver-and-black face, rather than the
Heath shades of green and brown of the HT-4.
It is branded "Heath."  Think I'll go look for it.
Don't remember where it came from either... ;-)

Think I'll mate them with a converter and burn-up the airwaves
with this mighty signal.
