FS: Transmitting Tubes etc.

[Neil McKie]

  The 8643 was the tube Motorola used in the higher power Motrac
 radios of the time.

  In the case of the UHF Motrac series LHT & MHT, Motorola used
 selected tubes: part number 97-136A02

  The VHF High-band Motracs series LHT & MHT, Motorola used the
 selected tubes: part number 97-136A01

 -------

  For those of you who need the information ...

  Remember the RCA Engineering style tube manuals that lay flat
 and were the loose-leaf type?  Ie: you could remove the pages
 for the occasional updates?

  I have that set of Tube Manuals here in case anyone needs me
 to look up anything.

  Yes, I do happen to collect stuph ...
