The Heathkit HR-1680 SSB/CW Receiver 

I have an AR-1680 in storage until I retire from work to do a rebuild. I for about the unit until I found your video, and I am now retired, which prompted me to unpack the unit and get busy cleaning, repairing, and replacing faulty parts. When I finish the unit it will join my HW 5400 and HW-9 in my shack. 73 DE W9FPJ

I just discovered this video. I thought I had seen all your videos. Good video Jeff

I love this little receiver. Reminds me of my Allied 190 "twins". The audio coming through on you video sounds FB!

This radio was my very first receiver I had when I got my Novice ticket back in 1977. Took me a couple of weeks to build it and a friend of mine took it to his work to align it.

I built this receiver in 1978. Heath gave me credit! I was on the road as an electrician working at a new coal-burning electrical plant in Iowa. It was some fun times. I still have it in storage.

Jeff one of the better videos describing the rig in full detail.

Thank you for this nice video. My first radios were HW-101, and later a SB-102, both used, but very nice. 73.

Happy New Year and thanks for all your great videos.

Another excellent and well done video from Jeff... Thanks

Very educational video. The radio is laid out nicely. Not a lot of clutter.

Thanks Jeff, good videos.

Jeff tranter your Hathkit SW_7800 GENERAL CVERAGE receiver is cool my hobbys are painting pictures and lisining to shortwave and ssb iam thinking about getting my ham license I have 4 shortwave receivers me and my cousin are going to a Swap meet June 5th 2022 Sunday morning at 8 am in Milwaukee

Where are the feet? Great video as always! I think you should emphasize in the intro that Heath made many more products than HAM/SW. Their audio and TV products were industry leading. Remember Heath started business and had initial success with test equipment, not HAM gear.

Jeff tranter my other hobby is lisn to music records and CDs and fmstreo on my Yamaha reciver

2 slide witches, 4 big knobs, a large tuning knob, and a real meter. Don't you just love it?

Hi Jeff, Great video as always. Could you post the part numbers you used to build the board extenders? Thanks and 73 Mike N2HTT

hey there bud.....a guy on you tube here might have the info on your 10 meter problem.....Robert Sumption....."the old ham"......video is about a year old I think....love your heathkit videos by the way.....

Do you need an external antenna for this?

Are a lot of these radios still floating around out there? I would love to have one.
