Be the envy of every Heathkit owner on your block with this unique color-coded "enhanced" bandspread dial for the HW-101 transceiver. The bands 80 through 15 meters are divided into phone/cw portions and into amateur licenses class privileges.  See pictures for details.  Very colorful and a real eye catcher, besides being very useful and practical.

It attaches to your present VFO drive plate in place of the standard dial - that's all there is to it. If you ever want to (I don't know why), your original dial can be put back in place of this enhanced dial.  Dial comes with installation instructions, which are supplemented by some pictures below.

Dial backing is made of high quality polycarbonate (much more sturdy and stable than the original Heathkit dial material), with the band data printed in 6 colors plus black. Typically, CW is in blue, phone is green for generals and higher, yellow is phone for advanced and higher, and red is phone or CW for extra class only. Beige is on the frequency numbered portion of the dial, which is also used for ten meters just like the original HW-101 dial.

Replace that warped and/or yellowed dial with this sparkling new one, just to add some interest in the appearance of your vintage rig, or to make it easier on yourself when tuning the bands to keep within your license limits.

Dial may vary slightly from pictures to reflect any improvements in design and/or to guard against some trade secrets of its construction, but it will still be used the same as described above.
