This is the unit I saw in operation at HossTraders. Was in the trunk
of a nicely restored '63 Ford Falcon Futura, powering a first
generation Elmac transmitter. Receive was accomplished with one of
those little Gonset converters coupled to the AM radio in the
dashboard. Sounded fantastick, although Larry NE1S did mention that he
ocassionally pops the breakers on the PE-103.

Quite a setup.
