[Heathkit] Here's one you don't see everyday

[KH6ITY at aol.com]

I use to live in England and my call was G5DFD. I worked for General  
Electric at the time in Saudi Arabia and had my home in the north of England.  
Heathkit was also sold and made in England. I saw many English versions of  the 
DX-40. Heathkit actually had a factory in England.  The front paint  layout was 
rather different than the US versions on most of their rigs. Also,  the circuit 
layout did differ on many rigs because of the difference of  availability of 
parts in England compared to the US.  This radio does not  appear to be an 
English version of the HR-10. You are correct about the voltage  (called mains in 
England). It is 250 volt 50 cycle.
