[R-390] OT: Other Radios You Like

[Cecil Acuff]

I've read the mail on this one for a while.

I think a well done SP-600 is a fantastic radio.  I think the Racal RA-17 
would be a good choice too.

Andy Moorer can fix you up with a good SP-600 JX as a starting point. 
You'll have to do the restoration work which is part of the fun.  Once done 
you will have a radio that is a joy to cruise the bands with.  Check his web 
site at www.jamminpower.com

Good luck in your search...

I've been thinking of getting another BA and was wondering if you guys have 
any recommendations with regards to a 75A-4, R-388(51J-3), 51J-4, or an 
SP-600.  I'd really like to be able to have general coverage (hence making 
the 75A-4 not a good choice) and was wondering how these radios stack up 
against each other.  Things like filtering, general "sounds good", etc., 
would be appreciated.  I'd probably want to do some CW work with it so the 
provision of a CW-width filter is a big consideration; however, I want it 
sound good on SWL-ing activities too.

Also, if you know where any of these radios might be for sale (besides 
eBay), I'd appreciate that too.

Thanks,
