Only the official "CD" portable/mobile and base station Gonsets were yellow and had the traditional R/W/B Civil Defense triangle logo on them. I don't believe they were available to the general public. The first two Gonset Communicators portable & base, were gray hammertone and the third generation was white, with blue/gray knobs, very nice looking too.

One of our friends has three kids who are US Naval officers. She made a significant comment on the dark grey and black cammo pattern that the Navy uses - it makes it very easy for someone overboard to not be sighted! :) If I remember the Gonset "Gooney Bird" transceivers of the 1950s, they were bright yellow, but safety orange is my all-time favorite. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to pin...@erols.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
