[Premium-Rx] hf 1000A

[John Wilson]

G'day Eddy,

I was the reviewer and it's a pity you don't remember the details. I was
able to compare the HF-1000 with the 8711 under the controlled conditions of
an anechoic chamber and my conclusions were facts and accurate measurements,
not some idle comment. When it comes to a load of tripe, you are ahead of
this particular game.
73,
John Wilson

Hi Folks.

I have a hf1000A here which I bought new, in 1996.
It works very well, and is easily the best receiver I have ever owned.
It outclasses a Ten tec RX340 which I have here as well.
I remember reading a review of the HF1000 in an english radio magazine
some years ago, in which the reviewer said the HF1000 was virtually useless 
above 4 mhz due to some internal noise which was caused by touching or
turningg the tuning knob.
I don't remember who the reviewer was now, and it was hardly inspiring
reading after I 
spent several thousand dollars buying one of these. The whole review was
completely
contrary to my own experience with this radio. I wonder how many sales were
lost for 
watkins johnson, thanks to the load of tripe which the reviewer wrote.

Eddy.
