[Heathkit] HR-150

[Howard Holden]

>From what I was able to see of the kit, you couldn't really tell how much 
"stuff" was on the board, so not really able to peg a value to this thing. 
That said, $20, which would buy you a small transistor portable kit from 
Heath or some others back in the 1960-1970 era, would be something like $120 
to $160 today, depending on which inflation calculator you used. So, their 
price of $149 really doesn't look all that bad. BUT...how is it a TRF radio 
with only one section to the tuning cap? TRFs used to have two or more RF 
stages, at least, ganged before detection of the signal.

For me, I'd like to see something a bit more sophisticated and Ham oriented, 
but who knows what the market will really bear nowadays?
