• Heathkit VHF-AM-Transceiver "The Sixer" HW-29A, employing 5 tubes. Covers the 6-m-HAM-band; P_out: 5 W.
  Successor of the 4 tube HW-29. 

  In some internet page there is a mixup: Title and picture say HW-29, while the text deals with HW-29A, That is indicated, but an explanation of the difference between the models is missing. An innocent reader must think the models are similar. Thus the serious looking article is misleading, pity.
