Default Mk 16 Receiver

Hi.

Just the receiver for the Mk16. It works very well. Now for the Transmitter!. On building this set It got me wondering if they were meant to go together, or is it just a marriage. They are not the same size, they do not have the same knobs and the label in only on the TX.

Anyway, here it is.

Superb and like a rebuilt vintage car possibly worth as much as the original. Wish I still lived in Misterton as would be wanting to come over and see you.

Hi.

Yes that's just down the road from here. not far at all. Yes its turned out very well. I may rebuild though, as there was a lot of rule of thumb sort of building. So its ended a bit of a rat's nest. Maybe not that bad but needs a tidy up. The RX will tune 160 - 80 and 40 mtr. So all in all pleased with it.
