[Elecraft] OT: S-38 / SR-75 trivia

[Ken G Kopp]

In my Novice days many years ago I owned an SR-75.  It
was indeed an S-38 that used the audio output tube (35L6
or 50L6 (?) as a TX oscillator with a plug-in coil that was
reached through an opening in the back cover.  Had no way
to measure the output power, but it wasn't much.

The original S-38 (only) has three slide switches in the
lower left corner of the front panel.  The third switch is for
a diode noise blanker, and only appears on original S-38's.

FWIW …

73!
