Re: [Elecraft] Heathkit ad from '57
All weight comments aside (and I did own a DX-100B) I find that first sentence in the main paragraph of the ad weighty and needs to be revised for the present. Elecraft amateur radio gear is designed by hams -- for hams to insure maximum on the air enjoyment. What more is there to say!

[Elecraft] Heathkit ad from '57

Re: [Elecraft] Heathkit ad from '57
Ah, but a rig is known by the company it keeps! Good marketing. A Collins owner who chooses the DX100 (and the DX100 was lighter than the Collins transmitters I lifted - IIRC the 32V series weighed over 100 lbs.) Tnx Mike!

Re: [Elecraft] Heathkit ad from '57
The DX-100 weighed enough to give my Dad (K3QDC, SK) his first slipped disk! He brought it home on approval but decided not to keep it. I don't recall whether the return was before or after the surgery. /Rick On Sun, Sep 11, 2011 at 7:39 PM, Ron D'Eau Claire r...@cobi.biz wrote: Ah, but a rig is known by the company it keeps!

Re: [Elecraft] Heathkit ad from '57
You made me go look ;-) The 32V2 is 110 lbs. I got one from a friend's estate and got rid of it because of the weight alone. The Heath DX100 is 100 lbs, so I can understand a slipped disc! My Viking Ranger weighed 45 lbs. I thought that was plenty for one small box - even when I was a kid! They didn't call 'em boat anchors for no reason. Now I give out with an OOF! when I lift the KPA500 which weighs about half of what my Ranger did. Not only do parts get smaller as we get older, the rigs get heavier. 73, Ron AC7AC -Original Message- The DX-100 weighed enough to give my Dad (K3QDC, SK) his first slipped disk!
