[HBR] Fw: HBR-16 + RME 45...

[Vern VanZ]

Hi Kees,

Thanks for the welcome and the tip on IF cans.  I may be able to hit the hamfest in Spokane the end of next month, otherwise I'm afraid that ebay is my only other option (unless someone here on the list has some they're willing to sell?).   I have a few (455khz I think) from the same 'junked' RME 45 as the case, etc., but don't have a good way to check them as yet...  I've hear or read that some folks use a GDO to check them out, but I haven't looked into that in detail yet.  Should be fairly simple I'd think...(?).

-Vern

Hi Vern,
Welcome to the list. A great substitute for the IF transformer (used by several peopel) is the 85Khz IF from a BC-453. There are still several beat up units which show up at swapfests for $15 or less and there still 3 very useable IFs in these.

Greetings.  



I just joined and wanted to say "hello out there!", and ask:  "Is anyone still building an HBR receiver?"  I've recently begun collecting parts for a variation of the HBR using a case, front panel and tuning dial from an RME 45 and various parts from other 'junked' commercial receivers (i.e.,  Hammarlund HQ-100, Knight R-55, RME 45, etc...).  I think I have most of the needed parts (power supply, main tuning, sockets, etc.), but wondering about (current) sources others may have and still use...(?)  Particularly where the I.F. transformers are concerned...  I've built CW transmitters (both tube and transistor), direct conversion receivers, regens, and just about every other piece of gear in my shack.  Thought it was time to tackle a superhet...  I  had in mind to make it general coverage, but that may be expecting a bit much at this juncture...(?)  I've also been toying with using crystal filters in the I.F....(~10Mhz), but that's still up in the air
 so-to-speak.



p.s.  - I could also use a meter movement for use as an 'S' meter, something that will fit the RME 45...  (i.e. - Square faced, 2 1/8" diameter, four mounting studs).  Anyone have one of those?



Thanks,

-Vern, N7GTB
