Best Tube-Type Transceiver?

It'd probably be nice if you'd define "transceiver"... otherwise there is no contest... The AN/FRR-60 / AN/FRT-39/40 "set" wins hands down. But then at a couple tons (literally)... and requiring over 60KW primary power... not exactly your typical "base unit"... Gee, I was thinking something like a Gonset Communicator. Not really, but yes "transceiver" is a very wide open term. It can go from those transmitter and receivers in one box with very little in common, to an actual SSB transceiver that the poster likely is asking about. But I was going to point out that in retrospect (and if we limit the discussion to amateur radio SSB transceivers), the time span is about fifteen years or so. It was the late fifties when such a thing arrived on the market, and it was over by the early seventies, with solid state taking over. Given it's at least thirty years since then, it is a finite selection to start with. Michael VE2BVW What about the Swan 350C and/or 500C? I never owned one, but they would certainly qualify as a tube transceiver. Barry - N4BUQ |
