[Lafayette] Lafayette HE-50 vs HE-50A

[Peter A Markavage]

HE-50 was introduced in February 1962. The HE-50A replaced it in May
1962. It appeared in the 1963 main catalog. I don't recall if it even
appeared in the 1962 main catalog. It also appeared several times in the
quarterly catalog supplements. They were all gone from inventory by the
end of 1964. There were three issues of the schematic (Run 1,2, 3). Hams
were not beating down the door for this thing. It was nothing more then
the Lafayette HE-20 Series (CB transceiver) rolled up to 10 meters. But
for the purists, it was American-made.
