If you are shopping
for a new television set and are willing to spend $500, you can get a fully assembled
and ready to play Samsung 55" 4K UHD LED Smart
TV with Alexa Built-in, or maybe a Vizio 50"
4K UHD LED Smart TV (UHD = 3,840px · 2,160px = 8,294,400 px2). The same
$500 in 1982 got you a 19" CRT with 525 horizontal scan lines (only 480-490 actually
visible), but theoretically an infinite number of points across each line due to
the analog nature of the signal. Come to think of it, an argument could be made
that the old CRT displays had a higher resolution than the UHD modern digital TV
(infinite versus 8.3 million, respectively). Ditto for the total number of color
levels - infinite for analog versus 16.8 million for digital (8 bits per color =
[28]3). Fully assembled and ready to play 19" TVs could be
bought in 1982 for about the same price, so the motivation for going to the trouble
of building your own set was mostly pride and personal satisfaction. Heathkit of
course claimed their set was superior to commercial TVs, but that's what they all
said - and still say). BTW, $500 in 1982 is the equivalent to $1,333 in 2020
money, per the
BLS Inflation Calculator.

over other color TVs. First, the Triple-Plus Chassis. Cool-running and 100% modular
in design, it consists of a clean, uncluttered arrangement of modules with a minimum
of interconnections. Every "complete system" module is 100% pre-tested and aligned
for outstanding reliability.
Our Tri-Focus Picture Tube attracts the eye with exceptional sharpness and detail.
It uses an ultra-high-resolution EFL Electron Gun with three extended focusing actions
to concentrate the beam and produce a smaller spot than is possible in one-gun sets.
This precise horizontal alignment brings you an increased image crispness, better
highlight definition and crystalline resolution, with proper levels of color purity,
tint and contrast.
AA new, advanced Color Sentry corrects the picture 30 times a second. Eight essential
picture and color sub-systems work together to deliver critically sharp and vivid
color reproduction every time .... automatically!
Computer Space Command 3000 gives you full-featured control from anywhere in
the room.
Time Control Programmer turns set on and off automatically, once within a 24-hour
period.
Modular chassis design allows economical self-serviceability
For extra depth and presence, the amazing detail-adding PRP (Peak Resolution
Picture) Circuit achieves maximum optical resolution by reproducing all 330 lines
of detail being transmitted. The result: on every broadcast, the pictures come alive
as never before.
GR-1901 gives you 112 UHFIVHF/CATV channel capability without an external converter
(except for scrambled programs). Connect cable directly to the set, and you're in
touch with 42 easily-selected cable channels. /p>
No fine tuning needed - ever! A computer selector instantly locks on each exact
frequency to keep the picture sharp and clear.
TThe infra-red remote unit provides direct access or channel scanning, volume
up/down, muted sound, recall of on-screen channel/time display, check or activation
of the pre-set Time Control Programmer and power on/off control.
The beautifully finished pedestal cabinet measures 17 5/8" H x 26 5/8" W x 17
7/8" D and comes with detachable, telescoping dipole and clip-on bow-tie antennas.
Provisions for external UHFNHF and matched CATV/MATV hookup are provided with switchable
Normal/Special AFC.
To match the performance of what you hear to the clearly superior picture you
see, a 1.5 watt amplifier and an acoustically-optimized 5" speaker send richly-toned
sound into every corner. For truly room-filling response, an Audio Output jack allows
auxiliary connection to your hi-fidelity system. Includes earphone with 15' cord
for disturbance-free listening. Heath provides the quality difference - in features,
in value, in performance!
Put a GR-1901 together. Savor the hours of leisure achievement. Turn it on. Behold

and receiver electronics are made by Scientific-Atlanta, one of the foremost manufacturers
of satellite communications equipment
• Satellite Receiver features drift-free reception, special Zenith Space
Command Remote Control (a satellite TV first) and built-in LNA/Down-Converter security
circuit (alarm not included)
Based on a design used by commercial systems: The SRS-8100 Earth Station gives
you uncommon performance and convenience in its price range. You get:
The SRA-S100-1 Three-Meter Satellite Antenna. by Scientific-Atlanta: Made by
one of the most experienced names in satellite communications, this precision-contoured
dish antenna provides the gain needed for a sharp, clear picture. This heavy-duty,
adjustable-mount antenna will give long, reliable performance. A rotatable feed
assembly automatically rotates to the proper polarization for each channel - receive
up to 24 channels from one satellite, with one feed.
The SRA-S100-6 Earth Foundation Kit: This enables you to anchor the 3-meter antenna
in the ground, firmly enough to withstand 100 mph winds.
The SRA-S100-2 Integrated Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA/Down-Converter) by Scientific-Atlanta:
This device amplifies satellite signals and minimizes noise for a strong, clear
picture. The signal is converted from 4 GHz down to the 500 MHz band - so it can
be delivered to the satellite receiver via standard, inexpensive coaxial cable.
