[Heathkit] [Glowbugs] Heath SB-110 or Swan-250

[Tom WA9WSJ]

Hello Glen,
How can you tell which model you really have? Is there something relatively easy to look for which determines the 110 versus the 110A?
thanks,
Tom

Sorry, I replied to "all" instead of changing to plain text for the Heath reflector.  Here is the message:

You really want the Heath SB-110A.  The original SB-110 had numerous problems.  Fortunately, there were not that many sold.  However, the SB-110A has "SB-110" on the front panel just like the original SB-110. 



The Swan 250 is "drift city" and the unit is known as the Swan "two drifty"!  The SB-110A is "rock solid" after a couple of minutes warm up and the calibration is excellent. 



I have had a Heath SB-110A for over 40-years and it is still my main 6-meter SSB / CW unit.
