General Coverage Receiver Question (Tube).

[Eddy Swynar]

Hi Noel...

Of course, EVERYONE has his/her personal favourite receiver, for WHATEVER
reason(s)...

But when it comes to Heath, my all-time favourite is the SB-301 ham band
receiver (and, by default, I guess, its SWL cousin). Where else can you get
such superb stability, excellent sensitivity, 1 KHz read-out, and all in an
attractive package for considerably LESS than $200.00...?

The only Achille's heal in this rig is the dial mechanism: I'll bet THE most
common thread herein is the slipping dial of the SB-series. Other than that,
a poor man's Collins, for my $$$!
