Their first project was updating the classic 5-watt amp to 18 watts with reverb, drive and master volumes, hand wired with point to point techniques.

Some versions, like this, added a 10 inch speaker derived from the ElectroVoice EV Force 10.

Electro Voice S Plus Its Solid

He chose the EV for its efficiency and output, plus its solid reliability when used on extended tours and gigs.

Its in overall good condition, and with 18 watts and a high quality efficient speaker, it makes its presence known.

I think this was due, in a large part, to the fact that Electro Voice was very big in the hi fi market during that time and the audio circuits were designed with quality of audio in mind.

Also, about midway at Ham Gear.htm For quite a while RME did NOT label the controls on their receivers.

It was a stated policy that anyone who deserved to own such a good receiver was knowledgeable to know the function of each control and therefore no labeling was necessary Glen, K9STH.

As a matter of fact I told the person wanting to know that you would know.

You bought your amateur radios and electronic parts from Klaus Radio.

In 193132, Radio Manufacturing Engineers was founded by E.G.

Shalkhauser (W9CI) and Russ M.

Planck (W9RGH), they started producing their first receiver RME-9 in 1932.

In 1943 the company moved to 313-315 Bradley Avenue (due to WW2 production) from the earlier 306 First Avenue location in Peoria, IL.

After WW2, RME merged with Electro-Voice, Buchanan, Michigan (before Al started TenTec, later).

Electro Voice S Series Of Shortwave

Planck stayed with the company and supervised the design of a new series of shortwave receivers under the name of Radio Mfg.

In 1962, the RME Division was acquifred by G.C.

Electronics of Rockford, IL.

The RME name disappeared within a year of the GC acquisition.

Of course I cant remember any ugly womens or cars names either.

I have the 45 with matching speaker, and the matching DB-22A and VHF-152A on display as at least they look impressive.

There were a lot of those receivers around The RME-6900 was the last receivers produced by RMEElectro Voice.

He did set a new record and the advertisements for the receiver made liberal mention of this fact.

W9VW, Harold Brooks, was a good friend of Larrys and often operated W9IOP during DX contests (during that time frame W9IOP had one of the best contest stations in world).

W9VW lived about a mile directly west of my parents house in LaPorte, Indiana, and hung out at W9IVZs station which was about 12 mile straight east of my parents house.

According to Harold, Larry did use the receiver during the contest, as a keying monitor Larrys main receiver was a Collins 75A-4 and he did the actual contest receiving using the 75A-4.

Since W9IOP did use the RME-6900 as a keying monitor, the advertisements were truthful.

However, they implicated that the receiver was used as the primary receiver Actually, the RME-6900 is a pretty good receiver (I have one).

Of all the receivers that I own that were designed for SSB operation, the RME-6900 has the best sounding audio of all of them.
