Default MARS Thunderbird Mobile Tansmitter Info

Ed

Thanks for the information but unfortunately my library of QST goes back to
1990 only, will have to ask around to see if anyone has that but as I recall
QST did not publish any schematics usually.

Hi,
The Mars Thunderbird was reviewed in March 1960 QST.

I just acquired a Mars Thunderbird Mobile Tansmitter that uses a pari of
6AQ5 tubes and a 12AU7. The 12AU7 is the oscillator/Amp and one of the
6AQ5's is the PA. The other 6AQ5 is the AM modulator. This is a very
nice Japanese made radio from the early 60's designed for mobile use.
