kpa500 builders

If you think your new kpa500 is heavy and has a lot of parts you need to watch this Hallicrafters video from 1944 ...

Re: kpa500 builders

Richard,

Thanks for the post. Do you know if there are more videos. This was part 1 that ends with installing the exciter unit. I wanted to see them install the PA.

Of course, today the military would use a satellite phone which would be viewed as coming from some aliens of another planet back in that day and age.

Phil,

I noticed that also but could not find it. Perhaps someone else will.

I became a ham (K1IGY) 13 years after that film was made. A lot of changes since then. My new kx3 is gonna be a bit better than the BC-348 of my novice days.
