Description

This Heathkit SB-101 HF Transceiver covers 10-80 Meters and is in Very Good Cosmetic Condition. 

 The Cabinet and front panel look very nice.

I tested this Transceiver with a Heathkit HP-23A.  All Testing was done on the 80 meter band.

 The receiver appears to be working good as well as the Transmit output which was over 100 watts.

I also checked the Transmit audio on both LSB & USB and it has excellent Transmit audio, so I know both SSB filters are good.

 The Problem I found was the end stop adjustment of the VFO / PTO Dial. 

The Dial will travel about 100 KC in the middle of the band, and seems to hit a stop, so this will need some attention.

 Nothing looks broken or out of place.

 This Rig requires an HP-23 Power supply. I may have one on reserve for the purchaser of this transceiver.

 I am selling this Transceiver as is as described, for the family of a silent key.

 

The SB-101 80...10 meter Ham Band Transceiver came on the market in 1967 and was produced until 1970. It replaced the SB-100, that came on the market in 1965. The SB-101 was then replaced by the SB-102, that was produced until 1975.

The SB-101 series resembled some of the Collins products at the time, so quite often they were called "the poor mans Collins".
