I have a HP-608D.  It was a "deal" of come pick this "stuff" up, the 
wife wants it gone.  Some "junk" came with it.

I have a GR-1001A and an AN/URM-25F.  These get used for alignments of 
HF gear.  Never got a chance at an HP-606.  I wish I had.

I use what gets the job done.  Brian also wrote direct off list.  When 
he understood the coverage of the 608, he decided that it wasn't the way 
he wanted to go.
