[Boatanchors] Viking Ranger or Hammarlund HX-50, which to use for AM?

[Al Parker]

Hi Darrell,
    I'm sure there are other opinions, but here's my quick take on it -- The 
Ranger was built for AM, it's plate modulated.  The HX-50 was built for SSB, 
and is not plate modulated, can't remember the exact method, but probably 
clamp tube or screen mod.  Ranger will give ~ 60w imput on AM, HX-50 maybe 
15w.
    Bottom line, no contest, use the Ranger.
