The XC-6 was their best tube converter: two stages of RF amplification,
remote variable gain control.  Mine is NOT for sale.


An apparently not-too-common transmitter is the HX-30 "VHF 6-Meter SSB
Transmitter/Exciter"

It's got a VFO, and uses a 6360 balanced modulator tube to generate the rf.
 Output is rated at 8-10 watts on SSB and CW, and 2-2.5 watts on AM.  It
weighs a hefty 40 pounds.

The one I have is not in operation yet, but is rising on the to-do list.
I'm impressed with the build quality:  machined planetary gear on the VFO,
good shielding, heavy copper plated cabinet ...  It is NOT for sale.
