[Milsurplus] TCS Transmitter

Mon, 06 May 2002 07:58:46 -0400

I have used my TCS combination very successfully, on the air, with no
modifications at all. The only external change I have with mine, is that
when I use it, I use a home-made 1:4 toroidal broadband transformer so it
loads easily into a 50 ohm antenna. BTW, I have been using a 1:4 impedance
matching transformer for around 15 or so years with almost all of my smaller
military sets that were intended to load into relatively short,
non-resonant, antennas.  73 - Mike
