[Heath] AR-3...

[Glen Zook]

I have both an AR-2 and an AR-3.


For "casual" tuning around, both are "OK".  However, for serious work, I have quite a number of receivers that are definitely much better.


Now, for Christmas 1956, my parents got me a used Heath AR-3 to replace the old TrueTone receiver that had a single shortwave band that I was using for a receiver.  I was in 7th heaven!  The AR-3 was a "real" receiver and I could listen to the world.  Then, in April 1959, I traded the AR-3 in for a brand new Hallicrafters S-107 which was definitely a "step up" in receiver quality.

Anyone here still use an AR-3? I'd be pleased to hear your experiences with 
it.

One was my first Novice receiver in 1956. I never did get the BFO to work.
