[Premium-Rx] A request for assistance in choosing a new receiver

[Tom via Premium-Rx]

Good evening everyone,


I’m interested in acquiring a military/commercial receiver.  I’m a ham (KF5WBS) but find I spend 98% of my time listening to the band instead of talking.  I found a very nice Racal 6790/GM that was renovated by Gary Wingert but I wonder if I should consider additional makes/models in selecting my first general coverage receiver.  


Any suggestions, recommendations or words of wisdom would be very much appreciated.


Kindest regards,


Tom Branton
