Heathkit DX-60 working FB!

  • Mood:

My DX-60 came last Thursday from Alistair Electronics.  I had Ken fix the mode wafer switch, put in a push-to-talk and apply the WC3K audio/resting carrier control modifications.  I put it through it's paces over the weekend and it's working great!  I now have the HB-10B VFO matched up with it as well. 

The transmit audio is beautiful.  I have been getting a few unsolicited kudos on the audio.  Jeff, W0XV and Bob Heil, K9EID (from Heilsound) gave me some nice feedback.  Bob said the DX-60 sounded great.  Jeff is interested in applying those mods to his best DX-60.  Now the SB-200 is doing a great job but I have the desire for MORE STRAP!!  I suppose I'll have to eventually do something about that! 

Until next time, 73 friends and fans!

John, KX5JT
