Description: I MAKE THESE TO ORDER, SO PLEASE ALLOW 8 TO 10 DAYS FOR SHIPMENT. SHOWN IN HAMMERED BLACK OR GRAY, BUT MOST ANY REASONABLE COLOR IS POSSIBLE, JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU PREFER. THIS RADIO USES THE 815 VHF DUAL PENTODE TRANSMITTER TUBE. IT WORKS GREAT. ONE OF THE BEST REGEN RECEIVERS I'VE EVER MADE FOR COPYING SSB AND CW ON THE HAM BANDS! THE 815'S ARE A LITTLE PRICEY BUT THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS RADIO IS WELL WORTH SPENDING THE EXTRA $$$'S. YOU'LL NEED 12 TO 14 VOLTS DC TO RUN THIS RADIO. A SEPARATE DC CONNECTION MAY BE USED TO POWER THE DETECTOR CIRCUIT, FOR MORE GAIN. THE WIRING HARNESS PROVIDED HAS A SEPARATE DC INPUT FOR THE B+ PLATE VOLTAGE IF YOU WANT TO RUN IT HIGHER THAN THE 12 VOLT FILAMENT. VOLUME AND REGEN ACTION WILL BE INCREASED, IF YOU WANT TO POWER THE DETECTOR AND AUDIO AMP AT 18 TO 25 VOLTS. HOWEVER, THE RADIO WILL FUNCTION WITH ONLY ONE POWER SOURCE, 12 TO 14 VOLTS DC. THIS RADIO REQUIRES A HI-Z INDUCTIVE (2 TO 4K OHMS) OR PIEZO HEADSET. RED PIEZO HEADPHONES, LIKE YOU SEE ON SOME OF MY OTHER LISTINGS, ARE SHIPPED WITH THIS RADIO, COMPLETE WITH AUDIO PLUG. YOU'LL RECEIVE FOUR PLUG-IN COILS, ALLOWING COVERAGE FROM ABOUT 200 KHZ UP TO 17.4 MHZ, CONTINUOUS. THE RADIO HAS MAIN AND FINE TUNING, REGEN AND ANTENNA COUPLING CONTROLS ON THE FRONT PANEL. IT WILL RUN ON MOST ANY WELL FILTERED DC SUPPLY VOLTAGE CAPABLE OF DELIVERING AT LEAST 1 AMP CONTINUOUS DUTY. IT WILL ALSO WORK WITH BATTERIES. FOR SMALLER BATTERY TYPES YOU'LL WANT TO USE SOMETHING LIKE A LITHIUM-ION OR Ni-CAD CORDLESS DRILL TYPE BATTERY (12 VOLT VERSION), CAPABLE OF DELIVERING THE REQUIRED CURRENT. YOU CAN ALSO USE 12 VOLT LEAD-ACID TYPE BATTERIES, OF MOST ANY SIZE, UP TO AND INCLUDING A REGULAR CAR BATTERY. IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO FUSE THE INCOMING POWER SOURCE LINE WITH A 2 TO 3 AMP FUSE. YOU'LL NEED A WIRE ANTENNA OF AT LEAST 25 TO 50FT IN LENGTH, ALONG WITH A GOOD EARTH GROUND. A 75 TO 100 LENGTH ANTENNA WILL PERFORM BEST ON THE LOWER FREQUENCIES. AS STATED, AN ANTENNA COUPLING CONTROL IS PROVIDED FOR ADJUSTING TO DIFFERENT ANTENNA LENGTHS. THIS RADIO HAS SO MUCH GAIN THAT ON THE AM BAND YOU'LL NEED TO SET THE ANTENNA COUPLING CLOSE TO MINIMUM. GREAT RADIO FOR THE DX ENTHUSIAST! I GUARANTEE THIS RADIO WILL WORK IF YOU HOOK IT UP PROPERLY. I WILL INCLUDE A HAND SKETCHED SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF THE CIRCUIT, PLUS A BLOCK DIAGRAM SHOWING WHERE TO HOOK THE ANTENNA, HEADPHONES, POWER, ETC. AGAIN, THE RADIO WILL BE CONSTRUCTED WHEN ORDERED. SINCE THE 815 TUBES ARE NO LONGER BEING MANUFACTURED, YOU WILL RECEIVE EITHER A GOOD USED OR NOS VACUUM TUBE. **********SHIPPING TO THE UNITED STATES ONLY*********
