• Notes

• The PACO G-15 grid dip meter is a variable frequency oscillator of the Colpitts type and an absorption wavemeter providing continuous coverage from 400 kHz to 250 MHz.  A tuned circuit placed near the oscillator and tuned to the same frequency absorbs energy from the tank circuit, causing a reduction in the meter indication.  The reduction is known as a "grid-dip". 

  The kit version was priced at $31.95 and the factory-built version (GW-15, the "W" stood for wired) was $49.95
