[Premium-Rx] Hagenuk RX1001

[Henry Kolesnik]

Two questions. 
1.  What is the going price for these recievers, I'm interested if I can afford one!

2. Is there connection between this technology and the Russian Woodpecker we used to hear on the HF bands back 10 years ago.

tnx

  I'd certainly nominate both the RSS series and the RCS series as premium receivers.  In terms of "wow" factors, both my RSS-5 and my RSC-5 rate pretty high with visitors, and they're certainly the most complex receivers I have in my shack (heaviest too!).

  Sometimes one can find these for sale - I know that Murphy's Surplus in El Cajon has had the RCS-5 in the past.  And a year or two ago Kurt Lesser (spelling?) in San Jose had several receivers for sale.  He may still have them, and list member Rich McClung may know how to contact him if anyone is interested.

  Although both the RSS-5 and the RCS-5 can be used as standard receivers, the "cool" factor for each is their CRT display.  The RSS-5 essentially gives you a plot much like a spectrum analyzer would, and the RCS-5, as others have mentioned, plots the height of the various layers vs. frequency for the propogation path between receiver and a chirpsounder transmitter.  The only drawback with the RCS series is finding corresponding transmitters!  There aren't many that I've been able to copy.  (If anyone has favorites, please send them to me!)

      While a specialty, I agree, this fits in with the Premium-RX theme and the
      results of the propagation soundings may be of more general interest to the
      whole group.  (Though there are other sources on the 'net for that.)

    The RCS-4 & 5 sure do sound like Premium Rxs. But I think Greg and/or I would need to have one to play with before making any final decision. Any offers?
