Heathkit HW-8 80-15 M QRP CW Ham Transceiver +Power Cord SN 05716 (Modified). This radio is in pretty good condition for its age showing some visible wear. There are many areas of writing, also some scuffs, scratches, and marks on the radio. Please note that the radio has been modified with an extra connector added to the back panel (we are not sure what this connection is for) as well as an internal speaker. Included with the radio is the DC power cord. This item has been tested by our technician, a ham radio operator of more than 55 years. Here’s what he had to say: Tested with dummy load, SWR / watt meter, and RF generator for receive signal strength. For key down output I was able to get 4.5 watts on 3.5 MHz, 5 watts on 7 MHz, 5 watts on 14 MHz, and 4+ watts on 21 MHz.
