[Heathkit] DX60B/HG10B question

[Bry Carling]

How did it work out Ronnie?

When will you be on the air with the DX60?


I need an excuse to fire up my Drake 2NT Twins again!

Ronnie:

I have the original HG-10 and a DX-60A.  "Stby" on the VFO disables it
completely.  "Opr" is the normal operating mode and "Spot" turns the VFO
on without keying the transmitter. Check the VFO to make sure it isn't
wired for a DX-40 or other cathode-keyed transmitter.  Also check the
function switch wiring. It may be offset, so that what you think is
operate mode is really spot mode.
