[Boatanchors] Name 5 receivers as good as the SP-600

[Doug Hensley]

Trying this again.  I am on Digest mode so feel free to email direct.  Can anyone name 5 receivers in the "General Coverage" class of radio that are as good as the SP-600 but are easier to move, operate, work on.  I'm giving up my SP-600 because its just too much weight and change is in order.  Unit has to be a tube radio, repairable.  Hybrid like Drake okay.


All I can come up with is:  R4B or C, HQ-180A, 51S1 .... most of the others that would be suitable if weight were no issue are just too heavy like SX-101A, R274, 51J3 in cab, etc.


Can anyone name 5 ?
