[Gonset] WTB: 2 and/or 220 Sidewinder

[Peter Markavage]

Hey Steve,
Can you give us more particulars on this 220 Sidewinder. I have all the
Gonset distributor pricing sheets from 1964 through 1969 and there's no
mention of the a 220 Sidewinder. A Google search also turned up zero.
Also have a number of original Gonset foldout brochures during this same
period and all that's shown is the Model 900A Sidewinder 2 Meter, also
called the GSB-II, and the  Model 910A, Sidewinder 6 Meter, also called
the GSB VI. Gonset did have the Model 3351, Communicator IV for 220 MHz
during the same time period as the Sidewinders. Also, around this time
period, Gonset had the Comtron Series, business/Industrial series, but I
saw nothing covering anything near 220 MHz.

Pete, wa2cwa
