[Heathkit] 1960's Era Crystal Radio

[Bob, WB2VUF]

Hi, Byron,

Heath made a crystal radio, but it was entirely passive with just a 1N34 
crystal diode but no transistor amplifier.  It was called the CR-1.  I 
don't know if there was ever a CR-2 or anything with a transistor in it.

73,

It was a crystal AM BC receiver that had a 1 transistor audio amplifier. It required a long wire antenna, ground, battery and earphone. It was in a nice little case and constructed on a PC board. Worked fairly well.    I thought it was a Heathkit but am not sure. From what I recall it had an assembly manual like a Heathkit and as best I recall it piqued my interest in Heath radio gear.
