Default Howes DCRX Receiver - Kit from 1980s-

Hi

I have just purchased a Howes DCRX receiver which works on 80m and was
a kit made by CM Howes in the UK around the mid-1980s. Does anyone
know where i could find the instructions or does anyone have one of
these receivers?

Thanks

Andy

Nothing in BAMA, but try this:

http://www.hamradiomanuals.com/view_manual.php?m=304

It'll cost you, but if you google, you'll find some
favorable opinions on the receiver and some tips, esp in the
eHam.net reviews.

good luck!

Sorry, missed this first time round.

I've got one, made up into a qrp rig with the matching TX.

What info do you need?

Hi

Thanks for the response. Couple of questions. I have the 80m version
and wonder what it would take to run it on 40metres. Also just
interested in the schematics to understand the construction. Lastly,
how the TX matched it and worked etc.

Thanks

1. Whereabouts in Britland are you?
2. Is your published email address true (It looks facetious)

You can find all the CM Howes manuals for free on www.snowbird.plus.com.

We could be fairly certain that, after TWELVE YEARS, Andy had either
already acquired the manuals or placed the Howes DCRX receiver in his
dust bin.

Sheesh!! google groopers!

Noted. I had not seen the date. Sometimes, people search for a long time for something like this and never get an answer, however. Do you have the PCB layout for a CM Howes buffer amplifier type CBA2 or perhaps the whole kit?
