[Milsurplus] GRC-109?

Mon, 23 Dec 2002 11:13:49 -0500

The GRC-109 makes a fun QRP rig (output is around 10 W, CW only). Nothing
special is needed to set them up, except crystals for your favorite
transmitting frequencies - the transmitter is crystal controlled. The
built-in key is a bit uncomfortable to use, but there is an external key
connector, so you can use your favorite key with the rig.
The receiver is sensitive enough but of course the selectivity is nothing to
write home about... an external audio filter improves the performance under
very crowded band conditions.

There are quite a few GRC-109's on the air, including mine.

I saw a posting for a GRC-109 set up on eBay
(749862524). Looks like fun! Anyone using one on the
air? Is there anything special to setting them up?
