[Hammarlund] Hammarlund drift

[James M. Walker]

I must second that,
I have and use 1) HQ-110, 2) each HQ-129(X), and 2) each SP-600. 1
(JX17),
and 1 (JX-21) None of them exhibited this drift problem. Although I must
say
that the (JX-17) is always on, been so for at least 4 years now
continuously.

I run CW with the HQ-110 and an Eico 720/722 setup, and AM with the
723/730
combo but xtal controlled, no drift in either mode, I turn on the
receiver at
least 20 minutes before I intend to go on the air.

My 2 cents
