General Notes

Note

The HW-22A is identical to the HW-12A except for frequency coverage. The basic specifications for the “A” series Single-Banders are the same as for the originals. Most of the changes are related to operating convenience. Refer to HW-12 and HW-12A for a discussion of basic features. Caution: Operate on 250 VDC only. Frequency coverage for the HW-22A is 7.2 to 7.3 MHz. References: Better dial mechanism. QST. Jun 1968, p. 36. Noise limiter. Ham Radio. Mar 1971, p. 67. A receiver pre-amp for. CQ. Mar 1976, p. 26.
