[Boatanchors] Allied A-2516 Rcvr

[WQ9E at btsnetworks.net]

Bill,

It has been 4 years since I went through mine but if nobody else jumps in I will take a shot at your question.

The A-2516 is a decent Trio/Kenwood sourced receiver and I also have the similarly styled A-2517 transceiver.  Unfortunately the conversion scheme is different so the receiver VFO won't function as a remote VFO for the transceiver.

I had looked for the Allied gear for several years before finally settling for a same era Trio JR-310 receiver at a hamfest.  As I was carrying the receiver to my truck I passed a seller unpacking the Allied receiver and transceiver so I quickly acquired those so that was a good hamfest!  Later a Japanese friend helped me acquire the matching TX-310 transmitter to go with my receiver.  Trio/Kenwood was already using those very smooth dial mechanisms familiar to later Kenwood customers in this early gear.

73, Rodger WQ9E
