Title: Re: Hmmarlund HX-50 Post by: The Slab Bacon on November 17, 2007, 08:37:00 PM I have an HX-50 sitting in the "to do" pile. They are a neat looking transmitter. After looking at the skizmatic, I think they could be made into a pretty versatile low powered exciter for linear AM service. I think they will make somewhere around 10-15w of DSB am.
I will eventually post my findings here on AMfone when I find that mystical, elusive thing called "a round tuit" ;) The Slab Bacon Title: Re: Hmmarlund HX-50 Post by: KB2WIG on November 17, 2007, 08:46:17 PM You may be able to fabricate one from this picture........ klc AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
