[Milsurplus] [ARC5] Navy GP-7 Transmitter Connectors Available

[Jack Antonio]

I have had a GP-7 on the air as well.  RIght now the set as awaiting
re-assembly, but it is working its way up the project list. It will be
paired with an RU-19 set.

I run mine off a PE-206 inverter, which I obtained from Robert Downs,
and a 400 cycle variac from Fair Radio. The PE-206 is only an 80V
unit. The combination is a little light in the power department to run
full power CW, but works OK on AM.

I've always been a dollar short or a day late in finding an 800-1
Inverter, or newer solid state 800 cycle power supply.

In my case, the GP-7 is not quite as stable as the BC-375, but
certainly plenty good enough for 75 meter AM. It may be due to
my power setup, I need to experiment with including the variac
in the regulator circuit of the inverter.
