  5. Simple control system -- ready to-go-the-air in 30 seconds
  6. Two vacuum crystals and two oscillators -- for long-term reliability
  7. 6000-watt capability with power output to spare
  8. All self-contained unit with quick accessability to all components
  9. Oil-filled modulation transformer -- the latest and most reliable transformer gives dependable, long-term service
  10. Top quality modulator -- square wave tested, low distortion, outstanding transient response
  11. Low ripple power supply -- simple design uses no filter choke
  12. Lots of air -- keeps tubes cooler for longer life
