[Heathkit] SB-401

[Chris Codella, W2PA]

Not necessarily, Jerry.  The SB-401 did not come standard with a set of 
heterodyne oscillator crystals.  You had to hook it up to an SB-301 (or 
300 or 303) receiver for it to work.  Heathkit sold an accessory crystal 
pack that you could install in those sockets to enable it to operate 
independently.  Yours just doesn't have that pack installed.  If you 
have a SB-series receiver you're all set.  If not, you'll need some 
crystals.
