[Boatanchors] Heathkit DX-40 or Viking Challenger

[Revcom]

Good, settles that.
Used to envy the guys running Globe Scouts and their "plate" modulation.
Me running a "swing carrier" DX-35.  Built an outboard modulator using PP
807's and a BC-375 Mod transformer.  Worked great.

Was thinking of the Navigator, with VFO, but heck that is CW only.
