[Boatanchors] RCA CR-88

[W2HX]

Todd and list,

Although I know RCA didn't make amateur transmitters, I was thinking something commercial albeit low power (not 10KW!). I think I will reach out to the KSM folks to see what they would have used on the transmitter side of the house (just for kicks and giggles)!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Look forward to firing up the old girl (and then trying to power up the CR-88 hihi)

Wondered who would snap that up. Bill's price was great considering condition and cabinet.

RCA didn't make matching transmitters per say. These receivers were used mainly in maritime circuits and other commercial/military use.

Congrats.

Hi there. Just acquired a nice RCA CR-88. Pix below.  Can anyone recommend an AM/CW transmitter that would pair up nicely with this receiver? Something RCA perhaps?
