[Lafayette] HA-350

[peter markavage]

Because of the front end design, the receiver would perform well on
frequencies with an antenna cut for that frequency. For multi-band
antennas, an antenna tuner helped a great deal in reception. Hanging a
long wire on this receiver generally resulted in poor reception on most
frequencies. This was the first receiver that Lafayette used a "real"
mechanical filter in the design. We sold lots of them back in the 60's.
Designed as a SSB/CW receiver.
