Blackjack,

According to everything I seen on the internet, the MDX200 is a 20m cw transmitter and it was made in 79. I know ken's electronics has the schematic on it. It also seems like the power output is almost half of what it should be with a 4w input. I think it is going to be a AM only amp, but don't quote me as there are many more techs out there that might know how to add SSB in it. Google "d&a mdx200" and you will see quite a few results. HOPE this helps.
