[Heathkit] HW-32 specs? Single Banders

[KHeck73 at aol.com]

I have an HW-32A that needs some work, but I don't yet have the manual. I  
pulled it off the shelf and can tell you the dial range is 14.20-14.35  Mhz. The 
major marks are at 50 KHz, medium ones at 10 Khz, and minor marks at 2  Khz. 
One knob revolution moves the dial about 50 Khz, or the distance between  the 
major marks.
 
I think the Single Banders (HW-12, 22, 32) were all about the same design,  
just different frequency ranges to cover the voice section of whichever  band. 
I also have an HW-22A that was modified to cover the entire 40 meter band,  
and can key CW. It has a few extra knobs and a switch added on the front  panel. 
I'm not sure where the modification instructions came from, but I suspect  
maybe QST magazine in the late '60's or early '70's (?). The fellow that did the 
 mod was a bright late teenager in my neighborhood who was tragically killed 
in  the early 70's while tuning up his homebrew linear amp. So, be careful out 
 there !

Hi:
The HW 32 is a fun little  rig.  The receiver is on the broad side and output
power is around 60w  pep max.  You can run it with a HP 23 supply or roll
your  own   but you need to make up an 8 pin connector for the power  cable.
Years ago I had one on cw by keying the PA cathode in the "Tune" mode  and
detuning the vfo.
Have fun
