CONVENIENT SOURCE FOR BEARCAT 20/20 MANUAL
Need a manual and schematics for the Bearcat 20/20 scanner? The
Heathkit GR-740 scanner is really a Bearcat 20/20. Heath sells the
GR-740 assembly manual with schematics for $5.
If you're considering a purchase of the Heathkit version, as
recently reviewed in QST, be advised that the circuit boards are
preassembled at the Bearcat factory. Consequently:
- If something ever goes wrong with an IC or a capacitor on one
of the boards, Heath sells you an entire new board rather than
replacing the component (now we're talking real money).
