Ready for real ssb? Electro-Nav is ready for you.

Some SSBs are more equal than others. And here's how Electro-Nav picked the winners.

We checked out just about every unit around, both foreign and domestic.

We tested performance under a wide range of actual operating environments, studied track records on frequency and speed of repairs, and compared prices. On the basis of the data we selected 4 units, made by three top manufacturers. Each unit is a natural for one particular range of operating characteristics. And each gives you the best value for your dollar within its class.

Top of the line is a synthesized 1500 watt transmitter that will give you world-wide ship-to-shore service, anytime, anywhere. It has telex capability, and a lot more.

Second, a 600 watt transmitter, synthesized, with telex

MV'» adaptability. Completely solid state, including the final

I output section, so there are no costly tubes to replace.

And it will give you substantially world-wide range under favorable conditions.

Third, a new synthesized 400 watt radio telephone transmitter-receiver with excellent extra long range capability. We're so proud of this one we've arranged to put the Electro-Nav name on it.

Fourth, a 125 watt crystal-controlled transceiver that will give you proven superb performance throughout its range. It's unbeatable for coastwise and nearby foreign communications.

One of these units will fit your needs to a T. They're all easy to install, and easy to retrofit. All come under a comprehensive world-wide service guarantee. And for all of that the price is more than right for what you're getting.
