Codar AT5 TX

How times change!

When I was first interested in the hobby we had horrendous noise at the top of 160m from Loran. In recent years we have noise all over the band from switch mode PSUs and other man made noise sources.

In the late 1960s 160m was the main mobile band, using AM of course. A popular TX was the AT5 paired with a T28 RX. The AT5 covered 160m and 80m and produced about 12W output. In its day it was a good radio from the car or at the home QTH. I always wanted one.
