Transmitters
These are DIY(Do-It-Yourself) replica kits of the very popular Amateur Radio Novice CW transmitter from the 1950s and 60s: AMECO® AC-1.
Probably many of the nowadays Ham Radio Veterans remember it from the time and may have started their Ham Radio careers with it.
These are simple two tubes CW only kits. The built in AC power supply uses a 6X5GT rectifier tube, and the oscillator is 6V6GT tube putting 5 to 7 Watts of RF into the antenna feed line.
Band switching is obtained by changing the plug-in coil. Exact transmitting frequency is determined by a FT-243 quartz crystal.
All our kits include mostly military grade parts made in Russia. You will receive all the components needed and very detailed step by step instructions and drawings.
