Heath produced a mod kit for the original HW-29, to add an 8 MHz oscillator. As I recall, it was built on a bracket mounted using the two holes on the front panel that originally held the plastic Heath logo. I obtained a used Heath CB model similar to the Tener, and converted it to a Sixer. I home-brewed the 8 MHz oscillator. This was back in the 60s when the band was wide open. I did not have the capability of measuring RF power, but would guess my makeshift version of the Sixer put out about one watt. Fred K4DII |
