[Premium-Rx] hf 1000A

[John Wilson]

G'day again Eddy,
I looked up my review text and found that I was really positive about both
the HF-1000 and 8711. If anyone would like a copy of the text (I don't have
the illustrations) just contact me off-list at johnwilson at freezone.co.uk and
read what I wrote back in 1995. 
Eddy, if you bought your HF-1000 in 1996 that is one year after the review,
don't hack at me if you did not read and appreciate what I said a year
earlier.
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.
