The Benton Harbor Lunch-boxes: the
Tener, Sixer, and Twoer
Thousands of these transceivers now
in use across the nation, in homes,
offices, cars, trucks, boats, etc., attest
to their popularity and proven
performance. Their neat, compact
design, low cost and high versatility
make them ideal for use in either
mobile or fixed station installations.
All feature crystal-controlled
transmitters and tunable
superregenerative receivers with RF
preamplifiers designed for operation on the 2, 6 or 10 meter amateur bands. The highly sensitive
receivers pull in signals as low as 1 microvolt and produce complete quieting on reasonable signal
levels.
The transmitters with up to 5-watt input are more than adequate for "local" net operations and the
communication range of all models is unlimited under "skip" conditions. Other features include: a
built-in RF trap on the 10 meter version to minimize TVI; frequency multipliers on the 6 & 2
meter versions to provide straight-through finals from an oscillator using a fundamental crystal in
the 8 mc range; built-in final amplifier metering jack, and "press-to-talk" transmit/receive switch
on the front panel with "transmit-hold" position.
Kit includes a ceramic element microphone and two power cords, one for use with the built-in AC
power supply and one for use with a vibrator power supply such as the Heathkit GP-11 for 6 or
12 volt mobile operation. Transfer from fixed station to mobile operation in a matter of minutes.
Handsomely styled in two-tone mocha and beige. Less crystal.
