My first receiver was a used Hallicrafters SX-140. I did not have a manual with it, and it was many, many years after I sold it that I realized it had a regenerative detector.
My recollections of it were of very poor selectivity. Perhaps this is just due to my not knowing how to adjust the regenerative knob properly. It was labeled Selectivity/BFO so I always figured straight up for CW, a bit left for LSB and a bit to the right for USB. Funny thinking about it know, but I was 15 years old and studying for my licence at the time. Once I got my licence I upgraded to an Heathkit SB-101. A couple of times now I have almost bought another SX-140 just to try it out with the proper use of that selectivity/BFO control and see if it really was as bad as I remember or if it was just me. 73, Darrell Bellerive Amateur Radio Station VA7TO On 06/17/11 07:33, kc9...@aol.com wrote: > Interesting conversation! > 3) Halli's...just fun to use and performance is really goos as > well...better than most may think/remember > 73, > Lee, KC9CDT _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
