thank you that is more than I knew.. and it does transmit well.. At least with the watts at 25 -50 I think that I will be able to build PS for it. I got it from a guy that had it banging around in the back of his pick up for a week. I hooked it to a car batt and crossed my fingers flipped the switch and believe it or not it worked those old tube radio sure are tough..
