Latest Elecraft NEWS

Err, WAYNE - - there is some question as to the contents of the latest
E-NEWS ****

You write: armed with a dozen or so crusty FT-243 crystals for my Heath
HW-16 .... (Away from "where" was a poorly answered question, as my
Hallicrafters receiver dial wasn't exactly digital.)

QUESTION: Did your Heathkit HW-16 not have a tune-able receiver? So, why
the Hallicrafters mention ??

Then you continue with: Fortunately I soon acquired an outboard VFO, a
life-changing addition to my station. Jealous friends doubled up on
their paper routes to pay for their own. Girls suddenly paid more
attention to me.

QUESTION: What do an outboard VFO and ... /Girls suddenly paid more
attention to me/. .... have to do with CW??

Nice write-up about CW Spotting

Cheers, Jan K1ND

**** I've read many a paper in my role as a professor ;-)

Re: Latest Elecraft NEWS

Jan,

The HW-16 was a crystal controlled transmitter only - no receive capability.

Yes, there was a time when transceivers did not exist, and many
transmitters did not come with a VFO. Many VFOs were external to the
transmitter.

The HW-16 was indeed a transceiver.....Xtal controlled transmit, and 250kc of receive on 80/40/15, the novice bands at the time.....

Re: Latest Elecraft NEWS

In reply to this post by Don Wilhelm

My friend Don has a slightly faulty memory. The DX-60B (which I still have) was just a transmitter, no rx. It worked well with the SB-303. The HW-16 did indeed have a receiver which was definitely tunable. Both needed the HG-10 VFO to get away from being rock-bound.

Perhaps it was the nerd girls who started paying attention?

Re: Latest Elecraft NEWS

In reply to this post by WW3S

Ummm ... in the general case, it transmitted and received so it
technically was a "transceiver" just as the Gonset Communicator's were
"transceivers." Newer folk likely think "transceiver" means "one knob."

Weren't all the Heath "Hot Waters" both TX and RX?

Out-of-order editing on my part. (Thank you for closely reading your Elecraft News.)

The HW-16 does have a receiver, of course.

I could then answer stations on their frequency rather than use crystals. Major step forward.

Remember: I was 15 and had a nuanced imagination.

> So, why the Hallicrafters mention ??

I later acquired a Hallicrafters HT-37 and SX-111 receiver. Dial accuracy was one of their weak points.

Re: Latest Elecraft NEWS

In reply to this post by Elecraft mailing list

"Nerd Girls" was an oxymoron when I was in high school. At a drive-in
movie in the family car, and not yet having made "The move" to the back
seat, she pointed to the Gonset converter on the steering column and
asked, "What's that?" I said, in my most professional voice, "That's
part of the two-way radio, here is the microphone for the transmitter in
the trunk" and then pressed PTT, the PE-103 spun up and I identified.
She seemed satisfied. Alas, the corona ball on the top of the 8' whip
had come off, the TX created a lively electrical display from the pointy
end, the manager showed up at the car, and "The move" never happened
that night.

HW-16 has a strange large knob and dial readout for a transmitter only,

I love that picture Mike. I miss my old Heath station (HW8, power supply
and paddles). Not because the equipment had the best numbers but because I
built it and it was mine. It's a reminder of less complicated days. Thanks
for sharing.

Dial was for receiver, transmitter rock bound until you added optional VFO. Oh, girls did love VFOs. Especially those whose giga hertz 😊.
