To truly be "matching" according to the era, you should use a 300'
with a 400' and a 301' or 303' with a 401', but any 3xx rcvr will
work with any 4xx xmtr....the 303' is solid state, all the way thru,
of course, and add's a bit of stability to the system. For years,
the 303' was the most sensitive receiver on the market, bar none.
I bought my 303/401 combo in 1972 or 73, and when I bought them, the
301' was out of production by then. The 310' and the 313' were the
international shortwave versions of the 301' and 303' respectively,
and while they can be used with the 4xx' series, they don't have the
LMO/HFO/BFO outputs to transceive with them...they do have 80,40,
and 20 meter ham bands though, and using their mute plugs, can be
made to "work" as separates on those bands, assuming they have the
appropriate filters for SSB and CW. Internally, they are identical
to their ham band counterparts, and theoretically, these outputs
could be added; most hams just buy the 300/301/303 because they just
don't cost that much, then have the 310' or 313' on the side. The
latter receivers do command a premium, as they were never as popular
as their ham-band brothers. I estimate there's one 310' for every
25 301/300's out there, and much fewer 313's. I own but one 313'
and it was hard to find....<br>
When you buy a 3xx receiver, try to find one with all the filters
(three: am, ssb and cw). The am filter is the hardest to find, and
technically, not necessary as no 4xx xmtr has am, but I think
there's a mod out there to make it am if you want to go real
nostalgic with the am boys...there's still a good amount of am
activity out there. Write back if you need more info....oh, yes,
check the Pensen book for the details on the differences between the
300' and the 301'...I think the main one is the ability to switch
between transceive and separate VFO control--the 300' can do both,
but the 301' does it with the flip of a front panel switch...<br>

<pre wrap="">Howdy Greenies!! I have a Heath SB 400 and a SB 401 transmitter, but I do not have matching receivers that will transceive with the transmitters. Which Heath SB receivers will transceive with those transmitters? I know there were SB 300, SB301 and SB 313 receivers but am not sure if they will all transceive with the SB 400 and SB 401 transmitters. Please educate me regarding which will transceive with which .
In addition which of the receivers would you recommend and which would advise me to shy away from.
Does anyone have either or all of the receivers that they wish to find new homes for? Naturally, I would prefer receivers that work well.
I will be looking forward to your emails covering the subject. Thanks and 73, John, K5PGW
