There is an unbuilt, still in the box IM-4180 on QRZ. as of 2-22 2022, if it was something I could use , I'd snatch it up. I built a few Heathkits in the 1960's and miss kit building.
I bought one at a yard sale in rural MI. It looked new, and the guy wanted $35 for it. I offered him $20, which was all I had. He sighed and said, "Sold. You're the only person all day who even knows what it is." I only checked it out for overall functionality, so thanks for the info. I'll add a band-spread air variable cap to make it easier to tune. I also have a service monitor on my bench that will easily test deviation, but I like to use the old stuff, especially Heath gear. The first kits I ever built as a kid in the 1960's were all Heathkits.
Congratulations John, I think you'll have fun playing with it. Mine was fairly accurate when checked against my Hewlett-Packard unit. Close enough for ham radio work anyway. I have a bench full of Heath get stuff still. Use it all the time.
Still have mine used to check rube type Motorola fm taxi transmitters mobile and base for yellow cab 155.115, or thereabouts if memory doesn’t fail me, unit worked good to keep them in spec.
I have one and have checked it against the Aeroflex 3920 at work and they both read the same. That's fine with me. By the way, the motorcycle sounds like my '79 Triumph 750 Bonneville. Am I close?
I paid way to much for one 20+ years ago. It works. A year or so later I bought another deviation meter made by a Danish company. Such a difference. That Hearhkit deviation meter was gone faster than a ted-headed stepchild, sorry.
Well I never said it was great. I said it is surprisingly accurate once you learn how to use it. Compared to my HP analyzers is it very close. Certainly good enough for someone who buys one for a reasonable price.
HI Steve. I just went back and looked at it. Something has happened. I have seen a lot of videos lately that seem to have issues. It was fine when I posted it. Unfortunately if I take it down and re-post it I loose all the views and comments. I think you-tube has some issue with storage. This was shot and edited with the same camera and software as all my other videos.

That should read Heathkit damn speech-to-text gets me everytime
I have just purchased one of these via eBay from USA. It needs a bit of work doing to it as batteries have previously corroded but I live in hope !
I have one of these Healthkit meters as well. Love the thing. I agree, as long as you know what to expect they work like a champ.
I was really impressed with just how accurate it was. Thanks for watching.
The Radio Mechanic if you look at my channel, I think you might recognize who this is. :) I'll be at Deerfield btw
Great video. I like the Harley intro sound :). I'm looking out for one of those meters so thanks for the heads up!

That's some pretty weird looking video!

Your video is going loopy!
Thanks, I checked and something is going on. I will have to dig through the archives and see if I can upload it again.
