[AMRadio] Boat Anchor Receiver

Wed Nov 30 17:39:40 EST 2011

Thanks Stu,

I use to have have a RME 4350 and I loved it.  It was a sweet receive!

I haven't seen one in ages, but I'll keep my eye out for it.

The Drake 2-B and 2-BQ Q-multiplier pair, no question.  Aside from its 
obvious calibration and mechanical design shortcomings, I consider the 2-B 
the "poor man's 75A-4" as regards stability and performance on SSB and CW, 
and, when using the wide filter position, it sounds very  nice on AM.

>From a more aesthetic standpoint, the RME 4350 (or with calibrator, the 
4350A) is a great match. It's similar to the Ranger in case size and half 
moon dial layout, it's nice sounding, and downright 'purty'!  RME offered a 
matching speaker and even an SSB adapter, neither of which are terribly hard 
to find to complete the set.
