TO BA and Homebrew NG's:
Thanks everyone for all the help and suggestions. My homebrew dream receiver is complete and working FB. Thought you all might like to take a look at it. So here it is: http://www.megacycles.biz No laughing please! :^( It took about 3 weeks working a few hours a day. |

Care to explain your choices? I think he explained it in his web site. I always loved the receiver in the HW-16 but hated the chirpy transmitter. So I hacked into it and stole the board out of it. It's got a few mods to make it perform even better. Al -- There's never enough time to do it right the first time....... |

His description indicates that the circuit board (and
presumably everything on it) came out of a Heathkit HW-16 transceiver. It was Heath's choice on tubes. I've thought many times about doing the same thing using the receiver section from an junked HW-16 that I have in storage. 73, Dean K5DH In article , says... You're not understanding my question. I asked him to explain why he chose certain tubes, not where they came from. If the answer is "that's all I had available", that's fine, but I'd like to hear him say so. Otherwise, I'm curious why he chose a 6EW6, for example, over other types. Presumably with "a bunch of dead tube radios" he would have some options. I did TV repair back in the '60s and '70s and the subtle differences between tube types has always been interesting to me. -- Bill, W7TI |
