As promised earlier, up for grabs is a KLM Echo 70, the first 432 MHz CW/SSB transceiver ever made. Unit covers 432.010 - 432.470 and 435.010 - 435.470. (Either range can be easily changed by swapping out 1 crystal.) 10 watts out. The original hand mike was shot, and has been replaced with a Shure CM-140 mobile communications mike. Would make a nice uplink rig for AO-7 or VO-52, or use it as the driver for an EME station. Has an input on the back for an external VFO.
Includes mobile mounting bracket, photocopied owner's manual, schematic & block diagrams, and alignment and modification instructions from Jim Eagleson, who was the service manager for KLM. Appears to be working FB. Photos available on request. Asking $75.00 shipped CONUS. George, KA3HSW _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
