Based on Wes W7ZOI's Preogressive RX from the late 1980's. A wonderfully
balanced design to which I added some bells and whistles I like in a
receiver.
These are some shots of my almost finished 1980's theme HF receiver.
All stainless hardware, teflon wiring. Rock stable VFO, homebrew xtal
filters ( 5/2/5/0.5), selectable and defeatable AGC, notch filter, tone
control, QSK input,built in front end BP filters for each band, preselector,
AM/USB/LSB/CW.

Hi Brian,
I did not keep track- but would guess over 200. Laying out the front panel
and milling it had to be 6 hrs at least. Even cutting the recatngular slot
in the Eddystone backplate for the S meter was hours, as I could not simply
clamp it to my mill table what with the pulleys etc being riveted on.
Layout of the SCAF/ AM demod board would have been a lot easier in surface
mount, but would have deviated from the 1980's theme- that is one packed
board
Not a cost effective way to get a receiver- but then again, I got EXACTLY
what I wanted.

That's a thing of beauty. Must be a lot of fun to operate.

But will it pick up that daytime radio station www.forthepeople.org
in Monticello,Mississippi from here in Jackson,Mississippi? If not,I am
not interested.

I have pretty much zero fascination with a digital readout- that would have
been the easiest part of this receiver- and would have absolutely ruined the
front panel. I can resolve pretty close to 1KHz as is, allowing me to find
whatever I need.
Just my opinion.
