I don't know anything about the HX-50. I just dropped by to say I think your Novice callsign is very cool.

I used my call sign from 1963 to get on amfone  before  I got my license back in Nov.2006.About half of my gear has been sitting  for 25 years without being used (only the transmitters )I always used the receivers when ever I had the chance.Joe.WN2FQD-KC2QOM-WB2FQD

Have to say its been closer to 40 years than 25,But I tried to keep everything in  working order.It nasty when you can't remember how long ago you stopped doing something,but I'm  back into it even if I can't remember everything I forgot.Joe WB2FQD

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"  ;)
