[Hammarlund] HQ-180 no sensitivity and block bias question

[Al Parker]

Hi again Guido,
	We're on the same page all around ;-)  I had cataract eye surgery last 
yr, have had to use a magnifying visor since, for closeup work.  I used 
to be near sighted, would take my glasses off for close work, now I put 
on the visor.  My ophthalmologist recommended it, about a 3.5 strength I 
think, and glass rather than plastic lens.
	Yes, the HQ-180 is a great rcvr, well worth the efforts.
73,
Al, W8UT
