Ultimate 60's station - the SB Twins

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

Yes. Your station looks very nice, Michael, and must be fun to operate!

Now, I have a few questions for those of you who have and use the SB 
Twins: how do you like the quality of their operation? 

What difficulties do you have with them, if any? 

What DON'T you like about the setup?

How well does the combo work on CW? RTTY? SSB?

What method does the combo use for CW sidetone?

Have any of you installed the 2 and 6 meter converters, and how well 
do they work?

Did you have any trouble aligning the units as separates? (I am not 
talking about them being used together in this case.)

What sorts of problems did you run into when operating them together?

Isn't it a good idea to have installed the heterodyne oscillator crystals in 
the transmitter?

Why?

The reason I am asking these questions is because I own an SB-301 
and an SB-401 and am about to put them into operation together. I 
used the SB-301 for years, and really liked it, but have not yet used my 
SB-401.

BTW, I bought the SB-401 from a seller on Ebay for $50.00. It had 
never been finished because the original owner had broken a section of 
the bandswitch. A very kind soul on this list sent me the necessary bit, 
and I will have the SB-401 on the air soon.

Thanks for the help.
