[Boatanchors] Seeking Transmitter Design Suggestions

[Nick England]

At some point in the 1950’s it seems like the Handbook switched from p-p
link coupled designs to single-ended pi-net outputs. So that’s a decision
to make and bears heavily on using plug-in coils vs bandswitching.
I’ve always liked the 5763-6146 lineup. Parallel a couple of 6146s if you
want more oomph.
Have fun
