Good Radio, not Great.

For the era, this was a very nice rig. The front end came assembled and aligned. It has enough controls to handle many operating situations. Audio Gain, RF Gain, IF Gain, Notch tuning and selectivity. It would have been nice to have a crystal filter.

Substantial receiver

This receiver is the obvious match to the Heathkit Apache TX1 transmitter. It features a 50kc IF stage which offers extreme selectivity in the SSB and CW modes. Bandwidth for AM use is somewhat restricted, and also not symmetrical in its bandpass slope. Generally, reception is pleasant to listen to and quite natural sounding. Mechanically, this receiver is a bit of a curiousity. It almost seems like there were three design teams working on this device when it was on the drawing board: one for the chassis, one for the front panel, and one to devise all the cams, levers, pulleys, steel straps and other devices used to interconnect the knobs to the actual controls on the chassis. It is quite a designing feat that this thing works at all!
