> I don't know what an HW-16 is. The HW-16 is a vacuum tube, 90-watt (maximum) input, crystal-controlled CW-only Novice-band transmitter and receiver kit with built-in AC power supply. It covered the CW portion of only 80m, 40m, and 15m. It was sold by Heath from 1967 to 1976. Its 1967 kit price was "only" $110, but that's equivalent to almost $1000 in 2022. Adjusted for inflation my full-house KX2 50 years later was less expensive. The HW-16 was popular when I was WN5WGJ in 1968, but at age 16 I could never have afforded one. :-) Its long-term utility was limited by the one-year non-renewable Novice license of that era.
