[Lowfer] What receiver do you recommend?

John,

Actually the RX-320 can be made to be quite sensitive!
That was my main LOWFER RX before I got the RX-340.
Here is a link to the AMRAD mod with some pictures of

That was done before I lost use of my eyes and hands :-)
I will have to dust off the 320 and see how it is doing.
