Hi Am in the process of rebuilding an Heathkit SG-8 generator Here comes the stupid question: I am replacing all the resistors and capacitors . I was thinking...
Todays capacitors are considerably smaller than the ones from 50 years ago. So are resistors, although not nearly as much. A modern 1 watt resistor is only...
Thanks, I want to replace the resistors with new ones with the same stated value, less tolerance and the same wattage. The manual I am using was printed in...
... Most resistors in tube gear not otherwise noted are 1/2 watt. The tolerance was 10% unless otherwise listed. As pointed out in the other post 1/4 watt was...

Hi and thanks to all You all where right I checked a Heathkit vtvm that I have from the same era and the same resistor size. and the manual states that they...
Regarding the HQ-170A covering up to 2M, that was a surprise to me! I thought that it only went up to 6M. Going to 6M seems to be somewhat available in the...
Bob, Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but my ex-father-in-law (WB8QQB-SK) had an HQ-170 VHF, and, if my old memory isn't mistaken, that radio had the 2M...

The HQ 170 and HQ 170A Go from 160M to 6M (Non WARC Ham Bands Only). The HQ 170A VHF goes from 160M to 6M (Non WARC Ham Bands Only). Although it does have an...
You are right, the HQ 170A VHF had an internal "converter". However, it is not quite fair to look at it as a converter. It is also the pre-amp for 6M. Also,...

Looking to get on 6 meters, is the Heathkit SB-110 a good riig to use? Thanks, Jerry WW0E [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Roger that, Randy. I used an SB-100 mobile for 7 years back in the 1970's. Hopefully, this is the end of this thread. I'm going to use a bucking transformer....
IMHO, the SB 110A is a GREAT rig. I have one with an SB 500 2M Transverter. I use it/them whenever there is a band opening or contest. I have even worked 6M...
