    455 KC BFO kit

    Copy SSB and CW on old SW receivers. This should be a fun project.

    Remember building that one ages back.

    Nice little kit. I just used another old AM pocket radio and it's 455kc, injected into the SW receivers antenna.

    Ten-Tec used to offer one of those as a kit.

    I may get one just to have in the shack. I'll bet it's much easier than using the old AM transitor radio trick.
