Two years ago, a friend picked my sx-140 up for me at Nearfest in Southern NH for 75 bux. It has most of the original tubes, looks good and works like a champ for checking the bands and for am phone listening. For cw use, I use an outboard audio filter. Since I didn;t want to risk static damage etc. I use a 20 foot random wire inside my shack which hears as much as my Windom outside in most cases.Since it has a regeneration stage in the if strip it is great with weak signals and a simple aerial. It is a keeper! de WA1UFO--Hans

Entry Level Ham Receiver
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I was surprised that no one has written a review on this receiver as I'm sure many a current ham started out with this and the matching HT-40 transmitter. Hardly state of the art by todays standards, it still is a fun receiver to use listening to the AM'ers. Sideband reception is possible using the B.F.O. but the rig I have is not the most stable. It is a ham band only receiver and does not have a bandspread, but is designed such that it is not necessary in most cases.
Using ths receiver brings back a kinder and gentler time in ham radio, and it is still fun to monitor the bands with it.
I'm keeping mine!!
