heathkit hd 11 Q multiplier?

[W5GA]

Drake receivers better then Collins? I doubt it! :-P:stickpoke:

Yup, better. I can't remember the last time I saw a KWM-2 in competition, but the last time I saw that with a C-Line was 2 years ago.

It would be even easier to get a radio with a real receiver in it. The HW-101 was several orders less than stellar. I'd be thinkin' Drake along about now if you want something that glows.

Could it be much worst than my old Lafayette HE-80 ? Actually the HE-80 is not a bad receiver. Great for 160 meter AM. Only problem is that it drifts like crazy. Even after it warms up it still has noticeable drift. But at the same time it is a nice looking receiver and its got tubes in it. And, i can't complain about the price. It was a NYC Sanitation Department special. Somebody threw it away and a friend who works in sanitation spotted it and set it aside for me.

It's a pity the bedbugs have made sidewalk scores a no-no.

Well, I dunno. If I see a good piece of radio gear sitting on the sidewalk a grab it.

Considering the expense and pita-ness, I"ll pass on anything. Now....if I had a supply of DDT..

...but for God's sake DO NOT TRY IT ON A VALVE RECEIVER!! The high voltages could be lethal.

Wuss!!!

One of life's mysteries for me is that, considering how cheap and simple a Q-Multiplier is, and how superb it is, both as a Peak and a Null device, why cheap crystal filters seemed to be so popular in lower mid-range receivers (SX-99, NC-109). A Q-Multiplier goes MUCH narrower than a simple crystal filter....and it's adjustable.

Made the AR-3 without peer amongst the 5 tube "converted BC receivers" like the S-38, et al.

When properly aligned the receiver in the HW-101 is as good as any of the receivers of the day and better than some. My HW-101 receives as well as my S-Line, KWM-2 and Drake 2-B. Don't sell it short.

I think we have different uses for and different expectations from a receiver. I had a HW-101 for about 6 months back in the day. Going to a Drake B-Line was a breath of fresh air. I lean heavily towards the competition side of things.
