[Milsurplus] Hutchens' SRR-13 notes.

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

Chris at radionerds sent to me this morning his scanned and PDFed copy of 
the Hutchens' info that Hue Miller so kindly recently sent to him.

I have passed that PDF on to Jim.

It is very interesting and helpful, although I suspect that Hutchens receiver 
was an early model since I did not experience several of the problems he 
addresses in this document when I used one of my own SRR-13s some time 
ago.

Even so, I find this document to be very valuable, and I thank both Hue and 
Chris for their kindnesses in making it available.

I will repeat what I said earlier about these SRR receivers: I consider them to 
be very, very nice receivers, and I think they would make a useful and 
valuable addition to any ham station.

BTW, Hutchens mentions that at the time he wrote the article, submini tubes 
were difficult to find. However, at this time, I find they are very easily found, 
NIB, on eBay and from other tube sellers such as ESRC, and they are very 
cheap. No one seems to understand how very good those tubes are.
