I believe the Heathkit rig everybody's referring to was the HW-16. It
was made for the Novice market and was a combination crystal controlled
transmitter and receiver, built into one cabinet. It covered 80, 40 and
15 meters CW. An optional VFO was available (VF-10?)if the novice
wanted to use the rig later when he/she upgraded. Those were the days
when novices were limited to 75 watts crystal controlled.
The same VFO also worked with the DX-60 and many novices purchased the
DX-60 and its companion receiver HR-10, and later added the VFO.
I hope this sheds some light on the discussion.
