@c13g2000cwb.googlegroups.com:

I recently received this large single-frequency transmitter
from an elderly gentleman who used to be a ham radio operator.

I have not been able to pin down exactly what it is. Some
folks have given the opinion that it may be an old VOR transmitter.

I'm wondering if someone can identify it? Give a date range?
or any other information?

p.s. I know some of the pictures are fuzzy. I'll cull them out.
Thanks!


Maybe an NDB, but certainly not a VOR.

One of the dataplates had a spot for "FREQ", near the top, but I
couldn't read the number through the glare from the flash. If you've
got the number, that should answer the question.

If it's in the 108 to 117.9 MHz range, it's a VOR. If it's in the
200-ish to 500-ish kHz range (I forget the exact limits), it's an NDB.
