[Heath] SB-620?

[Glen Zook]

For a while, I had an SB-620 set up for 455 kHz i.f. and used it with my Collins 75S-3A receiver.  There was plenty of gain to get excellent displays.  However, it was a nice "toy" to play around with for a little while, but, as for usefulness, not worth the effort it took to get the system working!

I can't remember just what I traded it for, but did trade it off!

Pete,

Thanks for bursting my bubble of ignorant enthusiasm for getting my 620 up
and running with * (* = anything it could possibly be hooked up to).
<chagrined grin>

Not ever seeing one of these in action, I presumed there would be more
excitement and useful purpose generated than "generally worthless".  Having
read your posts over the years, it is unlikely you are inaccurate.  

Is there any point to putting the time/money in one of these other than the
value of eye candy? (Pete or anyone, please)
