VF-1 vs HF-10 - three more replies

[Bill Meara]

Jeff:  Oops back at ya!  I meant to say that the VF-1 is the VFO circuit out
of the DX-100.  I also should have mentioned that mine was a real mess when
I picked it up at a 'fest. It was so bad that I decided to gut it and to a
complete rebuild.   I tied evething down very well and used a few more
terminal strips than Heath did. I'm very happy with the results.  I think
some guys built filament supplies into the VF-1 cabinet to keep it cooking
all the time.   BTW: I think the VF-1 manual mentions the possibility of
using higher harmonics to work 6 and 2 meters.  Given the less than stellar
stability on the low bands... well, like they say, you might not want to try
this at home!
