Here it is: PROOF that the classic "first receiver" project need not be more expensive today than our favorite 1950's kits. In fact, this great little receiver beats the pants off those 3-tube radios with the big plug-in coils. Excellent for clubs, classes and family activities. Band coverage: 49 meter SWL band, 40 meter ham band, 31 meter SWL band, plus 12-15 MHz tuning for daytime shortwave listening, 20 meter ham band and all those other shortwave sounds. Case, knobs, and speaker not included, see enclosure plus pak 1000C for other items ($22.50). You can enjoy the basic kit just by hooking up 9 to 12 volts DC, setting up a modest wire antenna (10 feet or more of hookup wire) and plugging in your own stereo headphones (1/8" plug). Features convenient push- button bandswitching, on-off switch, "on" LED, tuning, volume, and regeneration control.

This is your best buy, by far, in a ham band direct conversion receiver kit. It has better audio and filtering than the others, and we supply all of the parts and instructions to let you build it for (or change it to) ANY band of your choice. There are only minor coil and capacitor differences in the simple RF input and oscillator sections of a basic direct-conversion receiver. We give you ALL parts needed to build for your choice of 160, 80, 75, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12 or 10 meters! Try out your own multi-band switching ideas. An ideal receiver for use with a homebrew QRP transmitter!

Also known as the DXer's "integrating squelch," this great circuit liberates your family from hiss, whines and other noises when your receiver is tuned for those unpredictable openings on any HF or VHF band that usually seems DEAD. This "integrating" squelch responds to the cumulative effect of several seconds of weak signal rather than to isolated noise bursts. Connect between rig and external speaker; no receiver modification required. You supply creative 12VDC alarm devices (piezo, chime, strobe, light, etc.) Also may be used to add conventional squelch feature to older receivers, any mode. (strong signals break squelch quickly.)

Building one's own receiver from a kit has launched countless thousands of people into communications careers or the hobbies of amateur radio and shortwave listening ("SWLing").The model 1254 combines the satisfaction of the kit building experience with the performance features expected in a modern HF receiver. You will build a true dual-conversion superhet with a microprocessor-controlled frequency synthesizer. Digital LED readout. Alignment is surprisingly easy and does not require complicated alignment.

If you've been curious about what an "active" receiving antenna can or cannot do, without paying the $40-$100 cost typical of both kit and manufactured units, you will enjoy the experience of building, learning about and using this very simple, budget-priced kit. You'll get the performance without the price tag! Bring any HF receiver to life with the 1552 and a small length of wire, or a simple whip antenna! Compact 1.75" square board can be mounted inside receiver or in its own small box. Circuit includes gain control; operates on 6 to 15 VDC.
