WestCom Engineering TXL-100B


That Cb style amp was built out here in CA, years ago....southern ca to be exact, by a company that now sells RF transistors =)
They made a TXL 80B, TXL 100B, a TXL 150B....they even made some VHF amps for a while.
Like most of the Amps of that era production stopped when FCC started to bring heat on about 11 meter amps.
2 transistors, most likely from the SRF line.

If you like you can see a example of one of the 2 Meter amps here:

Here is a picture of a TXL 80B
Looks much like one of the old Palomar TX 100.
Lots of Amps with different names came out of So-Cal back then.
Palomar Engineers and RF Parts Is still alive and well today.

Had a TX-50 many years ago. Cute little thing it was! Just one little switch, on and off.

However I have seen some versions of it that had what appeared to be a second switch added in a separate case, but still attached to the main case. Never could figure out what it was for.
