[Heathkit] SB 614 vs SB 610

[Paul Kraemer]

Art
(1) The SB-610 matches the earlier line of Heath equipment which IMHO is 
more sought and collected than the newer. Again, just my opinion. Plus, the 
SB-610 closely matches other very popular gear of the era.
(2)The SB-614 is a solid state design which is good and a big plus but lacks 
a two tone test generator and really provides no provision for monitoring 
the receiver IF
(3)The SB-614 provides for front panel gain adjust of the transmitter signal 
which is very nice when you use a linear sometimes but not always or are 
wanting to make monitoring observations on just the exciter barefoot.
(4)The SB-610 provises more viewable area of the same crt and takes a little 
less desk space. Both features I like. If I were really space concious I'd 
pursure an HO-10
Unless someone really wants the look of the SB-614 I would say the SB-610 is 
a better choice.
I have used both in the past

I believe that about covers it. Hope it was helpful.
