[HBR] HBR from Heath HR10B Question

[LeeCraner at aol.com]

Steve,
 
The article was basically a "how to make the SX140 perform like the Heath,  
as the author clearly thought the Heath was a better design.
 
Walt KJ4KV has already accomplished what you are contemplating, so take  
your lead from him (I see he has weighed in).
 
I am a big fan of large chassis as you can see from my HBR-16 (under the  
Projects tab at _www.emmittsfixitshop.com_ (http://www.emmittsfixitshop.com) 
), so the  larger Heath chassis will definitely be an advantage.
 
Ironically, the SX140 and its companion xmtr are what got me involved in  
ham radio.  Sears sold the kits in their catalog back about 1960 and I got  
hooked on their promise of "talking to the world."  By the time I got my  
ticket, Sears stopped selling them and I ended up with a Knight R-55  instead.

Thanks  Lee

I no longer get Electric Radio, so am unable to chase it  down.  What is 
the summary of the article?
