[Boatanchors] Boatanchor receiver

Wed, 11 Feb 2004 10:21:10 -0800

For your use the HRO 60 would probably be best, then the 303, then the
MKlll.
I have all of them and they all have their advantages and disadvantages.
Personally, I use a pounded Collins 75A-2 for AM. It is better for AM
than all of the rx that you mention.
