Larry, I can supply a complete Manual for that SEA-106, if someone wants
to photocopy my Shop Manual. These are a bit dated and you have to check
the Prom Version to make sure it has the latest Frequency Lineup, as
the FCC/ITU did change the channel configurations for MF/HF Marine
Systems back in that day.... I also have complete Master Prom Sets for
ALL the SEA Radio's that have the later FCC/ITU Frequnecy Lineups.
Does your Radio have the two Frequency dials on the front panel, or is
it the Prom only version.

There are two knobs. One marked USA and one marked Europe receive. The
display is LED above them. There seems to be no frequency knobs. The
switch under the display is in Mhz for the various bands. There are 16
channels on each band, I suppose, right? I've never used it. It sat here
for a year and is useless to me. It's very nicely made...like something
you'd put on an Alaskan trawler...(c; There's a push button marked USA -
Europe to switch the channels, probably for the old duplex telephone
company channels.
Free for the asking....a sign of how popular HF is getting to be.
I figured if someone was using one, they'd like a free spare for parts or a
hot-swap-at-sea spare. >> Stay informed about: loran questions |

One of my ham friends, the finest guy you'd ever encounter, has a little
"collector fetish", too. He collects military stuff he finds interesting.
I haven't been in his living room in 15 years, since the little path
between the piles filled in. It's right up to the living room ceiling,
just like the SeaLand containers and huge storage barn in his back yard....
When I need hard-to-find parts to fix old organs, especially ICs, I know
who to ask before internet....(c; >> Stay informed about: loran questions |

Yep, that is the Prom only version. A better version is the one with
two sets of Thumbwheel Switch groups, that can be used to set the Tx and
Rx frequencies from the front panel. There are a bunch of hams that use
these for digital operations. There is also a LSB option for the 106 as
well, if your rich and famous.....

Heck, that ain't nothing! My RME4350 goes 20 times further than
that....... just during warm up.

Well, not exactly, but we did run cherry red graphites for a time on the
homebrew push-pull 211's (aka VT-127?). Shame the plate xformer smoked
during ARRL RCC certificate attempts.

Nothing like the warm glow of a pair of 3-500's key down on rtty, on a cold
winter's night. Almost as warming as a fireplace.

You never saw the big 4-1000A amp I got from JD Black, WA4DVK in
Orangeburg, did you? It was in a WW2 Navy transmitter cabinet 24" wide
and 7' high. Pole pig hooked up backwards for 7200VDC, cut back to 6KV
with a 230VAC 30A variac beast on the primary, home brew filament
transformer, regulated screen power supply for stability, running COMMON
CATHODE! Input was a 50 ohm, 100W dummy load into a drive potentiometer
so you could turn the drive back to where the tubes were designed to
operate. No tuned input necessary, it was a dummy load for the rig.
Output was a shunt-fed Pi network with huge rotary inductor with nice
turns counter, 500pF, 30KV vacuum variable input and broadcast air
variable dual ganged output cap both with nice vernier, calibrated dials
for fast band changing. Huge broadcast transmitter meters across the
top, screen-shielded window to impress the shack guests looking in over
the pair of 4-1000A graphite Amperex finals.
I brought a piece of melted RG-8 to a club meeting one night.
"Somethin' ain't right!", I told 'em...(c; Great fun on 75M on a cold
winter night. The little Heath HW-100 transceiver and a coaxial antenna
changeover relay and we're in business...(c; Run about 20W into it and
you'd see 6KV on one meter and nearly 1A on the plate meter. That's
about a kilowatt, right?....Right!
In Sumter, my neighbor's hall light was resonant around 3900 Khz. It
followed the SSB modulation, lighting up quite brightly...(c;

You're telling me. My father just moved into a nursing home at 83 and I've

I was an ET3 back in '65. Nice lookin' kid, but that was FORTY YEARS AGO!
