[Hammarlund] HQ-210?

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Yes, that's the one I want thank you Alex.

I was wondering about the shortwave version. I have the HQ-225 model and
what terrific band spread it has.  I finally found the narrow 500 Hz filter
for it, and except for contests, I no longer need it.  It's a pleasant
receiver to listen to, but I have my doubts on sensitivity on 28 MHz.

If you were to nitpick problems with it, what would you say?  Also it's
best features?

I have an ITT Mackay Marine 3031A receiver with knob tuning and LED
display. That receiver and the other related receivers (with the digital
selector switches) had terrible blow by in the 8 kHz wide filter, you can
see DC voltage on the S meter and you can hear very high pitched pink noise
while using the filter.  The RF signal level meters are always aligned
wrong, no signal pegs the meter.  But they are steady as a rock, and when
you use the preselector, signals come way up especially on LF and LW.  It
also had a variable BFO which was a needed feature which has been abandoned
by almost everyone.  You can center a Morse signal right in the passband
and adjust the tone with the BFO control.

Just wanted to nitpick!
