Hello to all that responded to my rig for sale. I have finally looked deep
enough into it to discover that it is a ssb and cw rig. Fired it up and got
a few watts out of it. Receiver isn't the hottest, but then maybe it has
been detuned. It would be a good idea to tune it, I s'pose.
Description to date:
transceiver
40 meters
digital readout to 100 Hz
does receive
does transmit
has RIT
has switch to turn off meter lamp and LED display for battery life
chips inside have 1982 manufacture date
apparently made by Mizuho in Japan to be marketed by Dentron
size: about 1.5" high by 5" wide by 6" deep(without measuring)
construction: very solid half cases. Better than HW-8. Thicker metal.
problems: tuning capacitor is hosed. Need new one. Not critical. I
clip-leaded a handy capacitor into the circuit and it works
fine. Since display is digital, don't need to worry about
tracking.
serial number is "experimental"
overall impression: dang cute
That's the scoop, guys! This unit will live and breathe soon. I will try to
get a schematic and book from Mizuho. Now comes the hard part....Do I hang
onto it and fix the capacitor or do I acknowledge reality and part with it
as-is, because we both know I don't have the time now to get into it?
Make me an offer I can't refuse (but NOT the one from the movie,
please). Tnx/73 de Jim, W7LS Here or at 206-788-0779 days, eves, weekends.
