Drake 2T vs. Heathkit DX-??

[Misic, George J.]

George and List,

The Drake 2-NT was a late 1960s - early 1970s set, CW only, 80 -10 meters,
120 watts input, with a power control to turn it down to 75 watts for novice
operation.  It matched the styling of the Drake 2-C receiver, and was
designed to be a very good novice or CW station.  73.
