[Heath] Fw: SB-301 help

[Patrick Tocornal]

My vote is for the SB-301 we old geezers much prefer to tinker with tube gear, besides a solid state receiver would not keep my boat in place if needed...... Pat

  Wow! What a great response from the "Puck" group! Thank you! As I told the "Heath" group,  I appreciate every comment.  As a couple of you commented, it will be interesting to see if there is clear cut choice.

   

  I hope more folks check in with their views and rationale.  

   

  I will summarize all this but since I have some rather pressing matters to take care of in the next several days, it will likely have to wait until next week.

   

  To assist with the compilation, it would help me greatly if you would come back to me one more time using this scheme to record your opinion/preference**:

  Give me a "1" if you strongly prefer/recommend the SB-101 over the SB-303; "2"  if you slightly prefer the SB-101 over the SB-303; "3" if you would be equally happy with either; "4" if you slightly prefer the SB-303 over the SB-301; "5" if you strongly prefer the SB-303 over the SB-301.  Also, let's also simplify the main reasons for your preference. Please use these descriptions: Stability; Selectivity; Sensitivity; Ease of repair; Reliability (as in needing only infrequent under the hood repair); Energy consumption (hot vs.not); Concern over parts availability and/or cost; strong signal handling (intermod performance); Prefer Tube equipment, Prefer solid state equipment. Whew! 

   

  One of the more creative recommendations was: "If you can find a SB-403, keep the SB-303"! :-)

   

  **Some of you do not need to come back again as you made it real easy for me to put your preference on the scale and stated your rationale clearly.

   

  Again, thanks for taking part in this opinion poll.  In the end it will help me and I'm sure many others who are on the fence. 

   

  73,

  Chris
