[Heath] SB 610 and SB 401 questions

[Mark Johnson]

Yes and no. You can use the SB 401 without the crystal pack if you operate with the SB 300, SB301 and SB303 receivers, with the pair in transceiver mode on the same frequency. If you ever want to operate in "split" mode, the SB 401 using its own LMO to control the transmit frequency, then you need the optional crystal pack.

And yes, if you use the SB 401 without a Heath receiver, the you also need the crystal pack.

>> Jim, forgive me if I’m being obvious but a “crystal pack” for an SB-401 can be obtained from any Heath transceiver. I’ve been buying up HW-101’s for parts, such as the crystal sets, as the crystals do at times fail and HW-101 parts rigs are fairly plentiful and cheap. Chuck Penson in his Heathkit book, estimates that Heath made nearly 30, 000 HW-101 kits! Also, all SB-400’s came with the full set of crystals so if you can find an SB-400 parts rig, your good to go.
