[Hammarlund] Which is better, SP-600 or HQ-180?

[rbethman]

Well, the AM bandwidth is sort of why *I* don't much care for the HQ-180.

I prefer the SP-600 overall.  Absolutely better AM.  Great on CW.  I 
have NO beef with the SSB quality.  Then again, my SP-600 is one of the 
"oddballs".  It is a J-11.  It is prior to the JX series.

It will sit on a signal and not move.
