Older Heathkit 8 channel Tx & Rx modules
#1

Thread Starter

I have two Heathkit 72 Mhz 8 channel radios that I would like to convert to 50 Mhz ham band but need both Tx and Rx modules to do this. I'm willing to pay any reasonable fee to acquire the necessary pieces. Does anyone out there know where I might find them? I realize that the radios in question are from the early to late 70's and can't be used on 72 Mhz any longer but should be OK on 5o mhz. Help... anyone. Thanks

I also have one of the 8 channel Heathkits. Occasionally, I've toyed with the idea of using a Futaba or other plugin tx module.
As far as a practical TX in today's world, the old tx just doesn't have the features I need.

Yeah, I started out with Heathkit in the mid to late '70's. I have all seven of the original 72 Mhz Tx & Rx modules. Worthless now, for what we need them for, but if I could get hold of some of the 50 Mhz modules it would be useful again to me. I just hate to throw it out.
