Review on Abovehill Transceiver Telegraph Shortwave Assembled by Dave Wolf

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well but the case is a little strange.

The transceiver functioned normally when transmitting and receiving. A few extra bucks for the assembled version (using my old eyes and hands) was welcome. When it arrived I was surprised to find that the plexiglass body still had the brown paper protective layer on it. To make it look like the Revain photos I have to disassemble the case, remove the paper and reassemble. When it arrived I noticed a thin piece was broken at one of the slots at the top as shown in the second picture. This doesn't seriously affect the integrity of the case, but I wouldn't mind if the seller sent me a replacement for this part.

Pros
  • Before turning on the radio, connect a dummy load to avoid igniting stray radiation.
Cons
  • disappears
