I used it every day, for 5 years or so.. Now that the HT-37 is working
again, I'll be BACK on AM every day! And, using it for guidance and
technical support on putting my homebrewed final back on the air.
Pair of 250TH's moulated with pair of 450TL's, with RF excitement and VFO
control provided by the HT-37.
One thing I've got to say about it, while it may not be 'automatic', that
phasing rig sure can null out the carrier on SSB!

The AF67 has a built-in VFO, it's also got a CW position. While I've never
owned one, I've had my grubby little paws on a couple of 'em, and to own one
would be great!
Assuming I GET the rigs, I'll work 'em over and make sure they get back on
the air. If I ever get rid of 'em, you'll be the first contacted - howzzat?
For futher discussions, how's about we move this to some more suitable forum
- maybe HAM_TECH?
