[Heathkit] HW-18-2

[Glen Zook]

The HW-18 was a "Special Purpose SSB Transceiver" that was sold in 3 ranges:

HW-18-1 "MARS" (4450 kHz to 4650 kHz USB)

HW-18-2 "CAP" (4450 kHz to 4650 kHz USB)

HW-18-3 160 meter (1800 kHz to 2000 kHz LSB)

All of the units were crystal controlled.  The opposite sideband could be had by changing the BFO crystal.  Also, by using an external VFO in the correct range the units could be VFO controlled.

OK, I thought a HW-18-2 WAS a Heathkit, a "Hot Water 18 version 2" or some such. I googled HW-18-2 and all I found was "registry cleaners" and since we LINUX heads have no "registry" they are of no use to me. I hate asking a lot more stupid questions, but I see no alternatives, "What is a HW-18-2"?
