Hi .... You didn't specified what is it you dont like in CW .....if it is
the band pass beeing too wide for CW you have some 51S1 's factory equiped
with 300 or 200 hz filter ....I know I have 2 like that ...one is for sale
....Too bad filters are no interchangeable .....Well YES it is also my
favorite receiver , the size of it just on the shelf in front of me with a
32S3 on top of it ......the 30L1 beeing of the top shelf .
Did you read John Wilson ( on this list ) the Feb 2001 " Shortwaves
Magasine" a 5 pages 51S1 article telling all the good things about it .
