[Premium-Rx] "List of Premium Receivers"

[Christine]

Hi Gentlemen,

its me again! I wish/think the name of the list would/should not be changed!

I  know  that  many  professionel receivers, we are in love with, OUTPERFORM
most of the new ham-equippment, even the FT1000/X or any ICOM-IC7xx/8xx/9xxx
cannot  reach  these sometimes 30 year old beauties. ulrich graf found, that
the  Collins  KWM-380  outdate/equalize most of the newer transceivers, that
can  only  mean,  he wrote, that Collins (and professional radios developer)
always  were  near  possible  physical  limits  OR the "Ham-Radio-Companies"
"slept"  the  years over and still DO ... I think that a main factor in this
is,   too,  the  resources  of  Racal,  Plessey,  R&S,  Telefunken,  Harris,
NRD-professional,  etc  etc  have  been  always much better with much bigger
funds (from mil-requests) to create, what we love today ...

PREMIUM to me is, what i like most without having to accuse me for that ...

Please do not touch the name of the reflector... Greg ...

Yours, Christine,

YES,i have now more time, exams are over, hihi ...
