In my early ham radio days, I used to trade rigs a lot. Back in the 60's I
had a transmitter for a short while and I can't remember the model number.
It was old at that time and I am pretty sure it was a National but I am not
even sure of that any more. (A mind is a terrible thing to lose :-) It
covered 80 to 10 meters (possibly160 meters also) and had a 4-65 tube in the
output stage. The unique part was the transmit modes however, CW and FM.
Can anyone enlighten me on what it actually was? I seem to remember NC-27
but I tried searching the web and didn't find anything.

Hallicrafters HT19 perhaps?

L. Ron Hubbub gets the gold star.

I would bet at least an old, burned out 4-65 that it was the Hallicrafters
HT-19. Used the HT-18 vfo and only covered 80-10 meters. They are pretty
rare.
