[HBR] The long, SLOW HBR project

Hi Walt,

Now you have me reconsidering all of that. I do have those 3.395 mc
filters - one SSB and one CW. And I have the 85 kc cans coming. And I
have the HR10. And I have a spare 9 mc filter (SSB). And oh BTW - a
Drake CW filter, too. I almost forgot the HW16. I think there is a
filter in there, too. 

I think those HBR coils and their Q are a major factor. Lack of
bandswitch contacts, too. The pins and sockets get a more vigorous
scrubbing than a little old switch.

Is a guy allowed to build more than one version of the HBR? If so...
where to start? I think the dual conversion setup with the 85 kc second
I.F.

Off to find out about an HR20.

73,

Bill  KU8H
