I have a Davco DR-30. Neat little receiver. It has Collins SSB filter, along 
with an auxiliary crystal filter on CW. Works great. Mine was a bit beat up, 
but electrically OK when I got it for $75 last year. I did some cosmetic 
work, and refinished the cabinet, and I have used it quite a bit. See
