[Heathkit] Hendricks BitX20A

[kiyoinc at attglobal.net]

A couple Heath types asked about my comment about building a Hendricks 
BitX20A.

The Hendricks kit is a solid state SSB transceiver for 20 (or 17 
meters). VFO controlled. Quality circuit board, all parts, and a 
Heathkit style, step-by-step manual.

manual.

I got the $90 board and parts kit plus the optional frequency counter dial.

10+ watts SSB, tiny. I'm building mine in a Collins-look box. I have a 
Jackson Brothers 6-1 vernier.

If you miss building Heathkits, this is as close as it gets. I printed 
my manual and made Heathkit yellow covers for it.
