Last generator (10-22) I got was a URM-25F. Circa Korean War vintage set. Has everything I need in a sg. Two tone modulation up to 100%, well attenuated, great for check sensitivity down to tens of a microvolt, build like a brick privy. Tunes 10KC-50MC.

So far I have found two issues. The band switch is really clunky and having to tune from one end of the dial to the other. It's tuning when your aligning a multi band set is a lot of back and forth. . The mode switch is intermittent. For $35 I not complaining.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
