[Premium-Rx] R&S ESVP/ESH3?

[Heinz Breuer]

Hello,
for casual listening you should also consider the earlier ESH2 and ESV. These are identical to the ESH3 and ESVP regarding the RF, IF and demodulating circuits but miss the advanced automated measuring, the direct frequency entry via keypad and memories. The ESH2 and ESV are half wide 19" units and offered much cheaper than the ESH3 and ESVP.
