For Laurie’s birthday I got her a Heathkit 401/301 combo with the station console. She’s very much into vintage anything and the Heathkit just happens to come in her favorite color. It’s pretty rock solid on the air and just in testing I’ve gotten decent signal reports with great audio reports. Can’t argue with that. I also was quickly reminded of the scent tubes and old electronics put out. A well welcomed attribute to the shack.
