The earliest I can recall was the Collins KWM-1, introduced in 1957,
but I suspect that may not be the correct answer. Transceivers of any
sort were not common in the mid-1950s. My high school principal
(K6AHL) had the first SSB setup I ever saw, a Collins KWS-1 transmitter
with the matching 75A4 receiver, circa 1955.
