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 ?
