[Hammarlund] Fw: [Boatanchors] RE; A Solder Story

[Rodger Singley]

I also have a HQ-215 and it is currently paired with a Eldico T-104 (“inspired” by the Collins 32S-1) because I got an extra T-104 with my Eldico S-119 setup.

The HQ-225 is the shortwave version of the 215 and the only one I have heard of belongs to a ham in WI.

   Hi, David, good question re the HQ210. I'm not sure about that model number, but I do know that the HQ-215 was the last of the line, and is (uniquely) all solid state. I'm glad to (finally) own one, having followed the design history of the HQ line. It has Collins mechanical filters, and is actually compatible with the Collins S-Line. Pretty handsome, too, like it's family before it. You can enjoy searching the I-net about it, as we use the new technology to learn more about the old.   As far as your nice wish for Hammarlund's longevity, welcome to the community... we are the custodians.    (((73)))    Les
