Title: Green Day video, what radio
Post by: K6JEK on September 10, 2016, 12:08:05 AM
What is the radio appearing at the beginning of this Green Day video? (BTW. You may want to turn the audio down when viewing)

Looks like a Gonset 2 meter VHF amplifier

It definitely says "power amplifier" on the panel and possibly " plate tuning" and "plate load" above the large knobs but the words are too fuzzy to be sure.

Gonset did at least 7 versions of this amplifier for 6 and 2 meters and assorted other frequency ranges. Typical models were, 3063, 3065, 3067, 3089, 3090, 3211, and 3212.

Gonset 6 meter amplifier:

My wife says I'm full of worthless information (or something like that).  ;D

P,

Your wife is generous. My wife has a word much different way of saying  " full of information."
