I use my SLR12-B for listening to shortwave music and BC band DXing because it sounds so good with 6V6's in PP. As an entertainment RCVR, it doesn't have a BFO. I'm currently restoring an SLR-F. It does have a BFO. True Boatanchors. Roger K7DDG ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
