Name this device #2
« on: April 09, 2012, 09:13:06 PM »
This was one of the best when it came out. Many Hams still use them but not for the original reason they were designed but for a design that was incorporated into it in later releases. The latest rendition is still in production and could cost as much as $1000 if you bought it in the UK.

A strong hint will be provided when someone gets close to the product purpose.




2 portions of the image were obscured as they contained the name of the manufacturer and the model number of the product.
The faceplate was cropped off for the same reason.




GO!
Books I highly recommend:

One Second After
Under the Dome
Earth Abides
The Road
The Stand

 It is but it is much more complex than that. But it could not do what it does without the A->D and D->A  :D
