I\'m sure you will find SOME kind of use for it, lol. If ya run across a home base unit, standard CB, keep me in mind. I would like to have one this year.
Have a good one, Crazy. :407:

That thing is sweet!!!!!!!!!!! That is a nice collectors item.

no different than other vintage amps.
all you need to put behind modern transciever is a relay to switch the input to output SO239s.
so the amp is bypassed on receive..
MY heathkit needed a bias supply but someone had already put that in..
a 2 pole 5 amp contact 12 volt coil relay will do the trick.
many circuits on the internet.
also for crazy using an amp on CB is illegal in case you were not
kidding...

Curious to the type of bias supply installed in your heatkit.
I have seen many different version around.
Agreed on the relay install. But I would never change this amplifier. I am gonna use it with my Apache.
Oh, I am sure crazy aint that crazy lol

Both of you are correct. When I was a teenager I had a monster linear (spelling?) , an aluminum finned monster. I never got in trouble with it, but a lot of folks wanted to know who I was, lol. See, I was crazy long before I was CRAZY! :arf2:
