Our rig was the dx100 and it served us well for years.

Hearing that BC-348 mentioned brought back my novice days because that =
was my only receiver.  The transmitter was a DX20 and I had a 100 foot =
long wire with no tuner.  One day I took my DX20 to a friend's house who =
owned a very expensive watt meter.  It was putting out 9.5 watts so he =
had a new, never been used, 6l6, I think it was, and we plugged that new =
tube in and the meter still read, 9.5 watts output.  I worked 29 states =
on 80 and 40 with that rig before I put up inverted vees for 80 and 40 =
and got the Viking ranger one.  Had 41 states on those two bands in 6 =
months before I passed the general.  I never had so much fun in my life =
back then.

Phil.
