"Griefkit"?? Good grief. More name calling of the other manufacturers on
the Ten-Tec reflector. Boy...
I've had a couple dozen pieces of Heathkit equipment and have enjoyed them
thoroughly. They provided many years of operational service. For the price
and the fun of construction they were well worth the cost.
Same with Ten-Tec.
As for the HW7 or 8, they were great little transceivers. I worked all
states on 40m with an HW8 and a strung-through-the-apartment dipole. Great
fun.
Why not go get the equipment you are curious about and check them out for
yourself? Except for very large specification differences, it's pretty much
a personal judgement call; much like stereo speakers. One person's great
sounding speakers are another's tinny sounding speakers.
