<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Today I bought an HQ-145 locally with the matching
S-200 spkr. it is from the same fella who had the SP-200 (trashed, no cabinet,
front panel has extra holes, etc..). The 145 rcvs fine 10mhz and below but above
10 mhz it is dead in the water. This is an interesting problem since above 10mhz
it is double conversion vice single. So I will be doing some troubleshoointg to
find out what is going on. So for now the combination here for AM is going to be
the DX-100/HQ-145. It sounds great listening to Sinatra on KPOP AM1360. Hope to
hear some of you on tonight on either 75 or 160 AM. BTW I hooked up the two band
W2IHY EQ to the TS-850 and it made a big improvement. This will be the rig until
the DX-100 overhaul is complete. Tks to all of you who have responded with great
comments abt the hq-170, dx-100, and nc-300/303 posts I have had over the last
week or so.</FONT></DIV>
