Excellent AM receiver

Time owned: more than 12 months

This 160 - 10 meters ham band only receiver is very sensitive on all bands, and has remarkably good selectivity via a variable crystal filter that actually works! The analog dial and pointer combination, and the amber glowing backlit "S" meter are really pretty - the kind of features that drive nostalgia buffs mad. The mechanical-linkage bandspread (via the fully weighted main tuning dial) is a truly unique approach to fine-tuning. This receiver is perfect for AM operation. Acceptable CW and SSB reception is achieved also via playing back and forth between the rf gain and af gain controls along with the bfo "injection" control. Incidentally, the rf gain control is, functionally, as fine a control of this sort as any I have ever experienced on any rig (and I own a Pro II). It has that ability to take you from "way downtown" to "way uptown" in a full-throttled way. It will spoil you. This receiver is fun! I use it in conjunction with a Ranger II and Globe Champion. If you're looking for a terrific "ol' buzzard" receiver, look no further!
Best regards,
Stephen, K1REX
