Receiver for use with Heath Apache, TX 1

[Larry Knapp]

Gene - Glen has a pretty fair list of receivers to consider.  Also you need to
consider if you want only a Heath receiver or others.  Besides the Mohawk the
SB-301 you have would be very good to consider, especially if the SB-301 has
the AM filter.  I would think you need to determine what kind of primary
operation you will be doing with your Apache (TX-1)....If SSB use (with an
SB-10), then you need a receiver that's good there; or if primarily CW...or
primarily AM...Not that I want to start another "flame thread", but of the
receivers listed, you need to determine if they are SSB/CW/AM or only primarily
AM/CW...you can receive SSB acceptably but with some tuning "assistance"
necessary on the 75A series (1,and 2), Hammarlund HQ-140X, HQ-150.....also,
Glen's S-85 (I used to have one Glen).  The Mohawk is, as most said, the
matching receiver that was sold along side the TX-1....there were several
articles regarding this receiver in Electric Radio that really "souped" it
up....in other words, made it better...November, December 1997 and January
1998...also on in May 1999.  Mohawks, RX-1's, can run one up to about $500 or
more, depending upon quality....and they are not that common.  Back in the 60's
I used an Apache, SB-10 and SB-300 receiver and it worked out very good.  So
don't necessily discount your SB-301.

I'm sure you will get many responses....whatever receiver you choose,
congradulations on getting one of Heath's finest transmitters of the late 50's
& 60's.  It's a good one & properly tuned and adjusted sounds good on AM and
CW....with the SB-10 it is a very good SSB performer also.
