Model 1054 4 band regenerative shortwave receiver kit. Here it is: PROOF that the classic “first receiver” project need not be more expensive today than our favorite 1950’s kits. In fact, this great little receiver beats the pants off those 3-tube radios with the big plug-in coils. Excellent for clubs, classes and family activities. Band coverage: 49 meter SWL band, 40 meter ham band, 31 meter SWL band, plus 12-15 MHz tuning for daytime shortwave listening, 20 meter ham band and all those other shortwave sounds. You can enjoy the basic kit just by hooking up 9 to 12 volts DC, setting up a modest wire antenna (10 feet or more of hookup wire) and plugging in your own stereo headphones (1/8” plug). Features convenient push- button bandswitching, on-off switch, “on” LED, tuning, volume, and regeneration control. Case, knobs, and speaker not included. Building skill level: Beginner. No previous kit building experience needed. Must be able to solder, read instructions, and use small hand tools.
