[Lafayette] HE-30/HE-10 correction needed

[manualman at juno.com]

As both Ken (Hi Ken) and Mike have pointed out, there are some obvious
and some less subtle differences between the HE-10/KT-200 and the
HE-30/KT-320 receivers. Whether or not, the cosmetic design of the
HE-10/KT-200 was put in place to mimic the early S-38 series is
questionable since those S-38's were discontinued years earlier and
during the time of the HE-10/KT-200, the Hallicrafters S-38 series were
slide rule dials. One of the most significant differences between the
HE-10/KT-200 and the early S-38 series was that the HE-10/KT-200 had an
AC power transformer and the S-38 series did not.

As far as kit versus wired, both seemed to be equally highlighted for
both models in the catalogs. Kit building was an easy way to save some
money back in the "good old days".

And the HE-10 had a real BFO, not a regenerative IF stage. The S-meter on
the HE-10 was a "real" meter -- not a hard to read edgewise meter.
Interesting that the HE-10 was marketed more as a kit (KT-200, I believe)
while the HE-30 was offered more in the wired version, although kit
version was available. Big issue with the HE-10 was it LOOKED like an
S-38, but was a much better rcvr. Many thought it was a "Japanese
knockoff" of the S-38. Both were a bit drifty on the highest frequency
band. --Mike, WV2ZOW

A correction is needed to the post describing the HE-10 vs. HE-30,
wherein the poster wrote that the HE-10 & HE-30 were essentially the same
receivers albeit with a different tube layout. Please note that in
addition to containing a slide-rule dial with bandspread calibrated for
the 80 - 10 amateur bands, the HE-30 had a Q-multiplier; which was
lacking in the HE-10.
