\"HQ-Display\"<\/a>Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> reader,\u00a0Jeff (KB7AIL), who shares the following:<\/p>\n

Saw the article on the DC meter in a Hammerlund HQ180<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n

Another mod I have seen is replacing the meter with a digital display.<\/em><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.electronicspecialtyproducts.com\/dd101.html<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

It integrates with the HQ180 nicely. <\/em><\/p>\n

They also have digi-displays in cases or use with other receivers\/transceivers.<\/em><\/p>\n

Very cool, Jeff. While I know a digital display might kill the vintage look for some enthusiasts, I have to admire such a useful modification to replace a broken Hammarlund clock\/meter.<\/p>\n

As Jeff mentions, Electronic Specialty Products<\/a> has a number of external digital display boxes as well. Check out their full line of products on the ESP website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
