The Vectronics Shortwave Radio Converter kit enables you to convert any AM or AM/FM radio to receive SW broadcasts. Choose any two 1MHz bands between 3 and 22MHz and select them by pushing a button. Includes the popular 13, 16, 19, 25, 31, 41, 49 and 60m international SW broadcast bands. An On/Off bypass switch restores normal AM radio operation.
Optional matching VEC-101KC metal case includes knobs, hardware and rubber feet.
The VEC-102K receiver covers 3.5-4.32, 5.95-7.4, 9.56-12.05, 13.21-16.5, 17.6-22MHz. These bands include the maritime, amateur and commercial broadcast stations from around the world. The kit includes all components, switches, PCB, metal case, knobs,
Build your own 2m FM receiver with the Vectronics 2m Receiver kit. Once built some test equipment or a 2m scanner receiver will have to be used to align the IF. The kit is complete with case, knob set, whip antenna and speaker. Exceptions: external supply or 9V PP3 battery. Standard SO-239 type antenna socket is provided for use with an external 2m antenna with PL-259 plug and 50 Ohm coax.
The Vectronics Crystal Radio Set allows you to relive the experiences of early radio pioneers. Wind your own inductor, wire up without using a soldering iron and have the satisfaction of building your own crystal set. All the hardware is supplied including the crystal detector, wire for the antenna and a sensitive high impedance earphone. Great for students and those with a nostalgia for the past.
The Aircraft Receiver Kit from Vectronics tunes the entire AM commercial aircraft band from 118 to 136MHz. Pull in stations over a hundred miles away, listen to pilots and air traffic controllers. If you live near to an airport then by leaving this receiver on the local channel you can free up your main scanner for other bands or frequencies. Operates from a 9V battery (not included) and drives a speaker or headphones. Optional matching metal case VEC-131KC includes hardware and rubber feet.
