[Heathkit] WTB: Stand alone HF Receiver

[w5sum at comcast.net]

Unless you have unlimited funds I personally would steer away from the R4C. 
They are GREAT rx's, BUT.. you have to buy filters, you have to buy the NB, 
and have to buy this and you have to buy that.  Buy yourself a Drake R4B and 
be done with it. It comes with all the stuff that drake did NOT put in the 
R4C, so they could sell accessories and boost their sales.  Even a 2B would 
be a better choice in my opinion.

NOW..  IF you can find a R4C that someone will sell REASONABLE that has all 
the accessories in it, and you can afford it, buy it.. as I said, they are 
great rx's. Most people nowadays that sell them, take all the accessories 
out to sell seperateley so THEY can boost their sales profits LOL

Gang,

My multi-year HBR-16 Receiver project is currently on the bench with audio
and sensitivity problems. I may do a total rebuild stem to stern this fall.

So in the meantime...

Im utilizing my rebuilt Lafayette HA-350 (Trio-Kenwood) on HF paired with
my DX-100. I've installed all of the audio and "B" version mods. Works
GREAT!

Excellent AM station I must admit.

But, I'd like to procure the best receiver that was available back in the
in late 60's and early 70's for general station use.

Recommendations?
Comments?

Tnx es 72/73 de Howie WA3MCK
