[HBR] HBR-67

[n2ey at aol.com]

Yes - in the 1967 Handbook!

It's a very straightforward design. Basic rx tunes 80/75 meters, 
converter for the other bands is switched in ahead.

IIRC 80/75m section is 7360 mix (single-ended), 2-6BA6 IF, SS diode 
product detector, 12AX7 audio/AGC. Not sure what was used for the BFO 
and audio output. Converter used a compactron for the mixer, oscillator 
and cathode-follower.

RX has audio AGC and S-meter, SSB-bandwidth mechanical filter, built-in 
solid-state power supply with VR tube. B+ is only 180 volts IIRC. Dial 
was a Miller two-speed, not an Eddy 898.

A good basic design but I wouldn't copy it exactly.

The 1969 ARRL Handbook has a receiver for 80M that credits W1DX's
HB-67 as being an inspiration. 7360 in the front end, single conversion
to a 455kHz IF. Cookbook-style links to a multiband
converter for other bands are illustrated.

Was the HB-67 design ever published?
