[Heathkit] SB-10/SB-200 combo

[manualman]

I've used my 756 PRO II at low power level to drive the SB-200. You won't
get lots of output out of the SB-200  but it doesn't sit there dead in
the water. Also on AM, I use about 15 watts carrier to drive SB-200 for
about 110 watts out. I remember years ago for the vintage sideband net on
20 meters, I had the Apache driving the SB-10 and took the output  of the
SB-10 to the input of the SB-200. Don't remember what my peak output was,
but everyone on the net heard my transmissions. With the SB-10, you can
also insert as much carrier as you like and run double-sideband AM, upper
sideband AM, or lower sideband AM.
