SB-301/SB-401 in transceive mode

[Ed B Richards]

Robert;

The receiver should be aligned , then the transmitter, with them coupled
together. Heathkit says to remove the crystal pack (10) from the SB-401
when running in the TRANSCEIVE mode.Be certain to disconnect B+ from the
final plates and screens during alignment. Get a manual and follow it
exactly. Good luck
