Heath Walky-Talky

[Tom Bowman]

I'm looking for a copy of a schematic for a Heathkit walky-talky I built
probably back in 1961 or 1962. Physically, this CB rig was
almost the size of a bread box (hi!), about 4x4x8 inches, with a long pull-up
antenna and a single volume/on-off control on the front panel. The rig
had an aluminum front panel and the other three sides were leather.
Took one heck of a large 9 volt battery.

The unit was a single channel, 100 mW transmit....
It had four transistors: one transistor in the super-regen rcvr,
another transistor served as a xtal oscillator - stable enough to be FCC
type accepted - and the other two transistors were in the audio amplifier
doubling as an AM modulator.

I was thinking about this as a minimum parts count rig. I'd like to build
another, this time for six
meters.

Can anyone help with a copy of the schematic?

Thanks,

Tom, WA3REY
