Calling CQ on a clear frequency for your class of license is probably the
best source of action. The band isn't that big to tune around for
contacts, and, if tuning around for contacts and/or calling CQ seems to

Well, I guess Mark, based on the previous descriptions/definitions etc.,

you see the true AM'er colors in the operating and the enjoyment in using

Actually, it looks like your early 183D, the 183, and the 173 all use
very similar S-meter circuitry. I didn't analyze every part but they look

There are two versions of the NC-183D. As pointed out,one with 6J5 phase
inverter driving the 6V6's and the other, 6SN7 (half as phase inverter
