[Heathkit] HW-18-2

[Glen Zook]

It is very difficult to make the HW-10X, SB-10X, or the SB-Line go on the 60 meter band.  This is because the VFO frequency is within the band.  The KWM-2 series (and Collins S-Line) use a VFO/PTO frequency in the 2 MHz range and not in the 5 MHz range like a good number of the "boat anchor" radios.

If I manage to actually get two HW-101s (not that I even have one yet), the second will have 20m moved to 30m, 15m moved to 17m and 10m moved to 12m*.  It may even be possible to use all crystal control to hit 60m as well.  (I might be able to make them switch selectable like the KWM-2A but I'm not going to bank on it.)  This is not a real problem with a little head scratching and soldering iron work.  Of course, the rig won't be virgin anymore but it will get me on the WARC bands.
