[Boatanchors] National NCX-3

[AI2Q]

The rig also uses a 7360 sheet-beam deflection tube in the balanced 
modulator. They are a tad rare (although if you need one, let me know).

I used one at the W2GLO club station for quite a while. Had fun with it, in 
spite of its limiations as a vintage rig.

Worthwhile project?  I guess that depends on the
purchase price, condition, and how useful you find
a three band, 120watt pep transceiver.

It is a good looking rig but you might regret
owning a radio that only covers 80, 40, and 20
meters.

If the price is right and the condition is good,
it would make a nice rig for someone who does not
have any other equipment.  However, if you already
have a rig that works, covers more bands, and has
comperable performance, the NCX-3 may end up just
taking up space.\
