[Milt -- N5IA]

I used my Eico 720 (1960 through 1965) in both positions once I 'graduated' 
from the Novice class in 1961.

I had three crystals on 40 Meters which tripled to 15 Meters that were used 
in the CW bands.

I constructed the Knight Kit VFO for use in the 'phone bands together with 
the Eico 730 plate modulator.

The 6146 final produced a great 65 Watts of plate modulated AM 
transmissions.

Memories!!!!!!!!!!!  But I sure wouldn't trade my K3s and accessories for 
that setup.

73 de Milt, N5IA, aka KN5FPO and K5FPO in those days.

Raymond,

You reminded me that I also have some old stuff with a slide switch -- I 
remember that my Eico 720 transmitter has a slide switch for VFO/Crystal 
usage.  But, I have never used that slide switch, I have no idea if it works 
or not.  It is in the crystal usage position -- I never did have a VFO.
